“For the mother who walks two hours to the nearest PHC, epidemic preparedness isn’t a policy term. It’s whether the clinic has what it needs when her child falls ill.”
Earlier today, Connected Development (CODE) convened stakeholders in Abuja for the National Convening on Project Track-BHCPF, presenting months of findings on how Nigeria’s BHCPF–NCDC Gateway is managed, disbursed, and accounted for at the subnational level.
The findings are now on record with stakeholders. Because when the next outbreak comes, preparedness cannot be a paperwork problem.

Meaningful progress demands more than inclusion, it requires agency, representation, and systems that empower women to lead.
In this thought-provoking article, it challenges the conventional approach to “investing in women” by asking a critical question: who defines that investment, and whose voices are truly centred?

DWAC Foundation Rolls Out Food for Hope Outreach 2025: Over 130 Families Empowered Amid Inspirational Messages
The DWAC Foundation's flagship Food for Hope Outreach returned triumphantly in 2025, living up to its motto "Touching Lives, Restoring Hope."
This well-established annual initiative—running successfully since a few years back—kicked off its 2025 edition with over 130 beneficiaries receiving vital support in a single, impactful day.
The outreach venue buzzed with purpose as the DWAC team arrived fully prepared: palliative packs meticulously arranged, volunteers strategically positioned, and an atmosphere electric with gratitude and anticipation.
Families from far and near communities arrived clutching their National Identification Numbers (NIN), the key to accessing aid. Upholding its commitment to decency, transparency, and accuracy, DWAC required all beneficiaries to appear in person—no proxies permitted.
Verified through NIN, recipients went home with generous foodstuff packs containing rice, garri, salt, cooking oil, and cash support, providing immediate relief amid rising living costs.
Welcoming the beneficiaries, Mrs. Damilola Wale Aremu, the foundation's initiator, shared a heartfelt vision: "The idea to give is to recreate memories of allowing little children to be happy, no matter how small.
"She prayed for all present, encouraging them to "believe in God—He will make you great to become givers to the needy too."
Other volunteers took turns praising the foundation's legacy while urging beneficiaries to keep faith in God and pray for Mrs. Aremu.
Elder Wale Aremu, jokingly rallying the crowd, declared, "Whatever any man gets is from God," before revealing he's the Wale Aremu—a name God is using through the foundation's initiator to transform lives behind DWAC. He couldn't hide his happiness seeing his children, most especially Damilola, making him proud.
He thanked all volunteers, encouraged recipients to "go home with the little in happiness," and noted the foundation's broader works—but this merry season called for putting smiles on faces. He closed with prayers for all.
Mothers smiled for their children, elders offered heartfelt prayers, and volunteers radiated fulfillment.
Another successful chapter in DWAC Foundation's multi-year mission of service, proving that consistent compassion—and timely inspiration—transforms communities one family at a time.
As we take the day to reflect on the state of our nation — weighing how far we have come, against how much farther we still have to go, it is important to renew our individual and collective commitments to building a country where justice, opportunity, and dignity are the inheritance of every Nigerian.
While that journey demands honesty about our present challenges, it also requires faith in our strength as a people. We have seen, time and again, that when Nigerians come together with courage and conviction, we can overcome even the most daunting obstacles.
Despite everything, at 65, our task as a people, as patriots, as Nigerians, therefore, is to deepen the values that hold us together. Values like fairness and respect for one another. It is to strengthen the institutions that safeguard our freedoms, and to create an economy that rewards diligence. These are the foundations upon which our next 65 years should be built.
Today is a reminder that, despite our difficulties, our story as Nigerians is still being written. Every generation has its own specific part to play. And so we must play our part with courage, integrity, and faith by building a nation where every Nigerian, no matter their background, can find justice and opportunity.
In the end, the greatness of Nigeria will not be told in the challenges we faced, but in how we overcame them together.
Happy Independence Day!
