Chairman of Access Holdings, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and his wife, lawyer and philanthropist Ofovwe Aig-Imoukhuede, have both been appointed as the new co-chairs of the Africa Advisory Board of Kings Trust International.
Kings Trust International, KTI was founded by His Majesty King Charles III to tackle the global crisis of youth unemployment. The foundation which has been supporting young people worldwide since 2015 is the global development arm of The King’s Trust. Its programmes are designed to equip young people with practical skills, provide mentorship and create pathways into employment or business opportunities.
Their appointment marks a significant transition at a time the organisation is expanding its work on education, employability and entrepreneurship for young Africans.
Since launching operations on the continent in 2016, KTI has supported more than 30,000 young people in nine African countries. The Africa Advisory Board was established to leverage African knowledge and networks to inform KTI’s growth, enhance partnerships, and develop solutions tailored to the continent’s needs.
As Co-Chairs, the Aig-Imoukhuedes are expected to deepen the Board’s strategic influence, to support both programme scale-up and broader systemic reforms aimed at improving long-term economic opportunities for young Africans and support the expansion of skills and entrepreneurship programmes. The couple brings decades of combined experience in financial services, governance reform, philanthropy, and coalition-building across the public, private, and social sectors.
