The Foursquare Church Without Bounds says it is preparing young professionals and entrepreneurs for leadership in business, career development, and national transformation.
The church said the programme, tagged “TOUCH 2025”, will hold on December 6 in Lagos.
Speaking at a press briefing on Sunday, Faith Oluwagbesan, the convener, said the 2025 edition is structured to encourage young Nigerians to believe in the country’s prospects and contribute actively to its progress.
Oluwagbesan said the outreach will assemble more than 500 participants from across the country, adding that mentoring sessions are designed to bridge the gap between industry leaders and emerging talents.

“TOUCH is our annual career, entrepreneurship, and nation-building initiative created to inspire the next generation of leaders,” he said.
“We designed it to encourage young people to stay committed to building this country, rather than giving up on Nigeria.
“This year’s programme will hold at Excellence Hotel in Ogba, Lagos, and we are expecting at least 500 participants from within and outside the church.

“In previous editions, we even registered 20 entrepreneurs for free with the Corporate Affairs Commission as part of our support for start-ups.”
Oluwagbesan said government policy remains important to the survival of small businesses and emphasised the need for consistent and supportive regulations.
The pastor said discussions will focus on business growth, access to capital, and sustainable ventures, adding that young Nigerians have the creativity to strengthen the economy and the nation.
He added that the TOUCH initiative reflects the church’s commitment to empowering young people and supporting national development.
