On this episode of ABS, we sit down with Abiola Adebiyi, the Founder of Elevate Development Foundation (EDF). EDF is a youth-led NGO focused on educating, enlightening, and empowering vulnerable Nigerians in underserved communities.

Abiola, a forensic accountant with a master's degree in sustainable development from the University of Sussex, advocates for public policies grounded in equity and justice to transform Nigeria, especially for its underserved populations. Through social impact initiatives, leadership, mentorship, and public speaking, she empowers the youth to become agents of community change. At just 16, she founded EDF to guide the youth in slum communities toward economic prosperity, impacting over 7,000 individuals by improving education and addressing unemployment.
