About Lead Generation Initiative
Join us in Shaping the Next Generation of Youth Leaders Driving Economic and Political Change.

Our Story
Founded in 2020, Lead Generation Initiative (LGI) empowers young Nigerians to take responsibility for their communities and actively participate in the socio-political process. LGI focuses on galvanizing, training, and supporting youth to become leaders of change. Through community-driven programs, the organization inspires a new generation to rise, take bold action, and contribute meaningfully to meaningfully to building a brighter and more prosperous future for Nigeria.
By providing structured frameworks, LGI nurtures young minds to understand their rights, roles, and responsibilities as citizens while fostering their interest in nation-building, politics, and active citizenship. Since its inception, LGI has trained over 9,895 Nigerian youths across 30 states, who have, in turn, trained over 1,895,190 others, creating a ripple effect of empowerment and political awareness.
One of LGI’s flagship programs is the Get Involved Leadership Training (GILT), a platform that brings leadership education to the grassroots. The initiative has touched lives across various states, including Oyo, Osun, Bauchi, Gombe, Niger, and Kwara. With each training session, LGI fosters a new generation of leaders ready to take on challenges, inspire others, and drive positive change.
Building on the success of GILT, LGI launched the Get Involved Leadership Summit (GILS)—a zonal initiative targeting all six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. These summits bring together youth leaders and stakeholders to discuss, learn, and act on critical issues affecting their regions.
The initiative reflects a vision for transformative leadership, spearheaded by Hon. Shina Peller, whose commitment to youth development and community impact drives LGI’s mission. With a focus on sustainable development and inclusive growth, LGI continues to equip Nigerian youth with the tools to shape a better future for themselves and their communities.
