🚨 #Benue 🇳🇬
@UNFPA#Nigeria team is in Mega IDP Camp, #Benue, assessing readiness of recently established Integrated Health Facility. Working with partners, our mission is clear—#protect, #empower, and provide essential #SRH and #GBV services to displaced women and girls.
Delighted to welcome Jennifer Chase, Global #Protection#Cluster#GBV lead. Grateful for her valuable technical support during this period of #humanitarian#reset. We share a common commitment to centrality of protection & to ensure adequate investment in capacity building for #local #partners during this transition phase.
Nigerian youth are not waiting.. they are shaping the future. Today, I had the privilege of attending the Premier Academy #ModelUN General Assembly on behalf of the Resident Coordinator ai @ElsieAttafuah. The theme, “Digital Transformation of the Education Sector as a driver of sustainable development” is not only timely, it is transformational. Through the model UN, the United Nations Information Center is empowering young people to understand #diplomacy, embrace #multilateralism, and learn the art of dialogue, tolerance, and consensus-building. Critical skills in today’s world.
Delighted to meet @nighealthwatch team. Excited about upcoming opportunities to deepen our collaboration on social and behaviour change communication as well as platforms for meaningful community feedback.
Informative exchange with @ClintonFdn 🇳🇬 team. Together, we will deepen our collaboration at state level, continue joint advocacy and contribute to evidence based high impact health interventions.

A rare privilege! Delighted to meet the “Magician of the Desert” - Monsieur Alphadi, 2016 UNESCO artist for peace. What an inspiring Masterclass touching on the power of creative arts industry, #partnerships for social impact and #leadership during turbulent times.

When access to health facilities is limited, clean delivery kits are life saving. @UNFPA#Nigeria 🇳🇬 Inter Agency Reproductive Health kits include Clean Delivery Kits for hygienic, safe deliveries in hard-to-reach communities—protecting mothers and babies.
Let’s work together to make every birth Safe!
Together with the Nigerian Red Cross & Yobe State Government, @UNFPA#Nigeria is delivering Inter-Agency Reproductive Health Kits to ensure essential #SRH services reach those who need them most. When we unite for health, every life matters. #HealthForAll#Leavenoone

Timeless Partnership: @UNFPANigeria & Nigeria Red Cross
For nearly a decade, @UNFPANigeria and the Nigeria Red Cross have built a partnership driven by a single, powerful truth: every woman, every girl, every community deserves #health, #safety & #dignity -even in the toughest crises.
In North East Nigeria and beyond, our collaboration continues to restore #Hope, support women and their families to rebuild their lives.
A true delight to meet Secretary General of Nigeria Red Cross & team. Looking forward to deepening our partnership and shared commitment to advancing #gender #equality.
#IWD2026
When women & girls thrive, families, communities and nations Rise!
Delighted to join @FMWA_ng for the launch of #IWD26. It was a moment to reflect & renew our commitment to justice & equality for women & girls.
In my remarks, I underscored the pivotal role of #leadership & #partnerships to accelerate gender equality.
Happy International Women’s Day!
#UNHouseGoesGreen🇳🇬
A proud moment to join the switch on ceremony at @UN_Nigeria. A testimony to our shared commitment to green solutions for sustainable development. Walking the talk.
Smart investment!
During my recent visit to #Maiduguri#Borno, I visited a One Stop Center which is providing #SRH, #GBV, #PSS to displaced women & girls and host communities. After years of protracted conflict, this One Stop Center is a safe haven and symbol of #hope and #resilience.
Thank you @RHHF_NG, a long standing @unfpa #Nigeria partner, @koicanigeria 🇰🇵& @NorwayMFA 🇳🇴
📍#Maiduguri#Borno 🇳🇬
In Maiduguri, Borno State this week, I visited an integrated health facility in Muna camp which is providing lifesaving #reproductive#health, #protection services and skills training to internally displaced women and girls. Managed by Ministry of Women’s Affairs with support from @UNFPANigeria, the integrated facility is a lifeline.
Despite immense challenges at the camp and host community, I met women and girls determined to rebuild their lives after protracted displacement which disrupted livelihoods and access to services.
In awe of the #nurses, #midwives and team of #volunteers for their unwavering commitment and dedication.
Unlocking economic opportunities for internally displaced women & girls requires inclusive finance and digital access. Public-private - partnerships can break barriers and unlock opportunities to women and girls to rebuild their lives. When people are banked and connected, they create, grow, and sustain dignified livelihoods.
@UNFPANigeria is promoting financial and digital inclusion in North East Nigeria through:
✔️Cash based assistance using mobile money
✔️Livelihood and economic opportunities offered at Women and Girls Safe Spaces
✔️Digital literacy and digital marketing
Thank you Maryam for sharing your inspiring life in #Borno and incredible journey to self reliance.

On the margins of the inaugural National Council on Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, I had the pleasure of meeting representatives of His Eminence, the Obong of #Calabar.
Traditional leaders are valued partners for @UNFPANigeria advocating for the rights of women & girls.
