Ottobi Entertainment, through its youth empowerment platform Made By Youth, will honour five outstanding young innovators from Ghana and across Africa in celebration of African Youth Day, observed on November 1, 2025.

The 2025 campaign, themed 'Africa’s Bold Generation of Innovators', celebrates young Africans who are redefining creativity, leadership, and innovation across various sectors.

“This year, as we focus on the theme ‘Africa’s Bold Generation of Innovators,’ let’s be reminded that we’re not just the future, we’re shaping Africa today. Celebrating this day matters because it’s a moment to recognise our creativity, resilience, and impact as young Africans driving change across the continent,” said Joseph Kwateng, Project Lead, Made By Youth.

African Youth Day remains one of the continent’s most under-celebrated yet significant occasions. It serves as an opportunity to recognise the creativity, resilience, and groundbreaking work of young Africans who are shaping both the present and the future of the continent.

As part of this year’s edition, Made By Youth spotlighted several remarkable changemakers, including Gordon Kofi Fay, Akosua Naana Lexis Obenewaa Opoku-Agyemang, Raymond Smith, Zulaiha Dobia Abdullah, Frederick Mattey, and Rcee. Each represents Africa’s unstoppable spirit of innovation and creativity.

To mark the occasion, Ottobi Entertainment rolled out three major media initiatives through Made By Youth:

• A Documentary – “Africa’s Bold Generation of Innovators,” premiering on YFM and digital platforms, featuring inspiring stories of young Africans redefining leadership and impact.

• A Special TV Feature – airing on Lifestyle TV, showcasing the creativity and achievements of young innovators across various industries.

• A Live Webinar – streaming on ItsFuse TV, OnePlay Africa (YouTube), and social media, with creators, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders discussing resilience, digital transformation, and youth empowerment.

These initiatives form part of Made By Youth’s broader mission to empower young people through storytelling, visibility, and shared learning experiences. The platform continues to:

• Spotlight African Youth Day and its relevance to today’s generation.

• Inspire young Africans through relatable, real success stories.

• Strengthen Made By Youth’s position as a leading youth empowerment brand.

• Drive meaningful conversations around innovation, skills, and resilience across the continent.

As Africa continues to evolve rapidly, Made By Youth believes that celebrating African Youth Day is more than a tradition. It is a declaration of Africa’s unstoppable spirit of creativity, innovation, and excellence.
