In the bid to bring into reality the dreams of 25 young people in Nigeria, within the first quarter of the year, twenty5wishes initiative was launched at Clear Essence California Spa & Wellness Resort, Ikoyi Lagos on the 2nd of April, 2016.

An initiative of Queen Martins, twenty5wishes was borne out of her desire to create a platform that will grant the career wishes of young people under thirty, who aspire to be skilled or up skilled in their area of passion. Twenty5wishes is designed to inspire and motivate young people to be dogged in pursuit of their dreams.

It presents a platform through which dynamic young individuals can meet and engage with industry influencers, as well as receive business set-up. The process involves three phases. First is the training phase, in which wishers will be attached to different wish granters for specific periods of training. After this will follow a showcase where

wishers will have the opportunity to showcase themselves on premium industry platforms. The third phase is the last phase where wishers will be equipped with work tools to facilitate their businesses.
