GEW Nigeria 2025

The Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) Nigeria 2025 is set to kick off with an inspiring event — the GEW Walk for Entrepreneurship in Lagos. Organized by the Enterprise Development Centre (EDC), this energizing 3-hour walk will take place on Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM, starting at 2 Ahmed Onibudo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The walk marks the official opening of GEW activities across Nigeria, setting the tone for a week dedicated to innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial empowerment. This year’s edition promises to bring together entrepreneurs, students, professionals, and startup enthusiasts — all united by a common goal: to promote a thriving entrepreneurial culture in Nigeria.

The 9km walk is more than just a fitness exercise; it’s a movement symbolizing resilience, collaboration, and the spirit of enterprise. As participants take each step around the scenic streets of Victoria Island, they will be walking for ideas, opportunities, and the belief that Nigerian entrepreneurs can shape the continent’s future.

Beyond its physical benefits, the walk also emphasizes mental and emotional well-being — reminding participants that entrepreneurship starts with a healthy body and mind. It’s a refreshing way to kick off the week, encouraging balance between ambition and wellness, especially in the fast-paced business world.

GEW Nigeria is part of the Global Entrepreneurship Week movement, celebrated in over 200 countries worldwide. It’s a platform where innovators, mentors, investors, and policymakers converge to share insights, explore partnerships, and inspire the next generation of changemakers. Each year, GEW highlights the importance of entrepreneurship as a driver of economic growth, job creation, and national development.

In Lagos — Nigeria’s vibrant commercial hub — the Walk for Entrepreneurship reflects the city’s role as a powerhouse of creativity and enterprise. From tech startups in Yaba to fashion brands in Lekki and small businesses across the mainland, Lagos continues to prove that innovation thrives where energy and diversity meet.

For many participants, this walk will not only be an opportunity to network and build new connections but also to showcase their commitment to building a self-reliant, innovative Nigeria. Along the route, there will be moments of reflection, conversation, and motivation — creating an atmosphere filled with enthusiasm and shared vision.

As the campaign slogan reminds us, “Entrepreneurship is not just a career path — it’s a mindset.” This walk serves as a powerful reminder that every small step taken today contributes to a stronger, more sustainable tomorrow.
