On the Global level, LiveWIRE programme is funded by Shell, local companies, Government and individuals that are interested in youth development. Presently, the Nigeria Programme is being supported by the SPDC and Shell International although efforts are being made to involve other local companies and government to support the activities of LiveWIRE in Nigeria.
The Delta State Government recently signed a partnership agreement with Shell to jointly fund the programme in Delta State. It is believed that many other companies and governments will very soon also come to partner with Shell in the funding of this laudable programme.
