The unveiling took place during a stakeholder engagement forum attended by representatives of government agencies, educational institutions, development organisations, media houses and private-sector players.
Uzoma said Hallos gains momentum at a critical time when youth unemployment remains a pressing national concern.
He urged stronger strategic partnerships to scale digital opportunities and unlock inclusive economic growth.
According to Uzoma, the creator economy has evolved into one of the most accessible employment frontiers globally.
He said young people can build viable careers with basic tools such as smartphones, internet access and practical digital skills.
Uzoma called for increased investment in broadband penetration, stable electricity supply and creative infrastructure, particularly in Nigeria’s South-East.
He described such support as decisive for empowering young people to compete globally.
The Learning247 Summit, he explained, aims to equip millions of youths and women with digital skills and monetisation strategies.
Hallos plans to integrate education, gamified quizzes, merchandising and voluntary fan donations into a unified ecosystem for creators.
Uzoma noted that more than 5,000 participants are already engaged across Hallos programmes nationwide.
The company targets reaching 10 million young Nigerians in the coming years.
He stressed that social media should no longer be viewed merely as entertainment.
Instead, he described it as a powerful business environment capable of generating sustainable income when approached with structure and discipline.
Participants at the forum examined emerging income streams in content creation, live tutoring, podcasting, digital marketing and e-commerce.
Discussions also focused on bridging the gender gap through targeted mentorship and training for women and girls.
Hallos reaffirmed its commitment to narrowing the gap between talent and income.
