WELLAFITTA RESOURCES BACKS 2,000 INNOVATORS AT GENSPARK 2026 SUMMIT

Nigeria’s industrial future is taking a bold step forward as more than 5,000 young entrepreneurs and innovators prepare to converge at the iconic Liberty Stadium in Ibadan from March 17th to 21st, 2026, for the highly anticipated GENSPARK 2026 Summit.

Positioned as a transformative weeklong industrial engagement, the summit is designed to reignite Nigeria’s manufacturing sector while offering a practical response to the growing wave of youth migration popularly known as the Japa Syndrome. At the heart of the event will be a massive exhibition featuring over 2,000 locally developed products, reflecting the depth of innovation emerging across the country.
The momentum behind GENSPARK 2026 gained significant traction following the announcement by WellaFitta Resources Limited of a major social investment to sponsor the registration of 2,000 young entrepreneurs.

The initiative ensures that financial limitations will not stand in the way of aspiring manufacturers and business leaders accessing world-class training, mentorship and regulatory guidance.
The sponsorship aligns with WellaFitta Resources Limited’s broader commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s industrial and healthcare value chains through local production and youth empowerment. By removing entry barriers for thousands of participants, the company is helping to cultivate a new generation of producers equipped with the skills needed to drive economic resilience.

GENSPARK 2026 will host an impressive faculty of respected industry leaders, policymakers and entrepreneurs who will lead participants through practical business pathways and growth strategies.

Among the confirmed facilitators are Prof. Martins Emeje, Director-General of the Nigeria Natural Medicine Development Agency; Dr. Fidelis Ayebae, Chairman of Fidson Healthcare PLC; Abimbola Balogun, Co-founder and Executive Director of So Fresh; and Taofik Odukoya, Founder and CEO of Vanguard Pharmacy Ltd.
Also joining the summit are Abimbola Adebakin of Advantage Health Africa, Yinka Afonja of ACE Mall, Gbenga Adesina, widely known as The Billionaires Consultant and Pharm. Abiodun Ajibade, FPSN, the Project Lead and Chief Convener.
Ajibade, who leads GleanForte Academy Limited, has consistently emphasized the urgent need for youth participation in Nigeria’s productive sectors. While young Nigerians continue to make global strides in technology and entertainment, the manufacturing ecosystem remains in need of fresh energy, innovation, and sustainable leadership.

A major highlight of the summit will be the expansive industrial showcase. Over 2,000 exhibitors are expected to present a diverse range of locally manufactured goods, including household products, beauty and wellness solutions, renewable energy technologies and handcrafted innovations. The exhibition will serve as a marketplace for visibility, partnerships and direct engagement between producers, investors and consumers.

Beyond product display, the GENSPARK curriculum is structured around long-term business sustainability. Participants will receive targeted training on regulatory compliance, product registration processes, leadership development and scaling strategies essential for competing both locally and internationally.

WellaFitta Resources Limited has described its’ sponsorship as part of a collective drive to strengthen Nigeria’s economic foundation by investing directly in entrepreneurial capacity. Supporting thousands of young business owners today is expected to yield a robust, self-reliant industrial ecosystem in the years ahead.
With comprehensive logistics and security measures already in place, organizers are confident of a smooth and professionally executed summit as participants arrive from across the nation.
