Our greatest asset @UNDPNigeria is our people, the depth of experience they bring, the ideas they carry, and the energy they invest in the work every day. The Naija 🇳🇬vibe!
Tea with the RR was exactly that kind of space, alive with reflection, honesty, laughter, and bold thinking about our experiences, our aspirations, and the culture we are building together.
As part of our People for 2030 journey, these conversations are where collective energy of our Country Office is renewed and fueled.
Grateful to everyone who showed up with openness and spark. This is how we build a future-ready UNDP! 💪🏾🚀🇳🇬
Last week was a fantastic week, and it was an honor to meet with Hon. @BalarabeAbbas_, whose continued effort underscores the critical role of the environment in advancing sustainable dev’t in Nigeria.
@UNDPNigeria@UN_Nigeria are steadfast in our commitment to continuing to work closely with @FMEnvng to advance climate resilience, protect our natural ecosystems, and support sustainable development pathways for Nigeria.
The launch of the #AIUniPod was truly remarkable, and this is only the beginning.
We sincerely appreciate everyone who attended and supported us on this important milestone. Strong partnerships are essential to driving innovation in Nigeria, and we deeply value your commitment.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the leadership of the @NigeriaGov, @officialSKSM for their continued support, as well as @TETFundNg, @bosuntijani, @Didi_WalsonJack, @DrTunjiAlausa, and @jidesanwoolu for standing with us and championing this vision.
This is just the start. We’re excited about what lies ahead and look forward to bringing you more updates on the UniPods across Nigeria.
Naija has always had talent, now we turn talent into real advantage.
When education works, it powers dev’t. Now, Nigeria is making a decisive shift toward a system that builds founders, innovators, and job creators.
The Student-Led Venture Creation Grant signals this new sustainable dev’t architecture, linking education, innovation, enterprise, and investment into one coherent pathway for competitiveness.
Congratulations to the Fed. Ministry of Education under the stewardship of Hon. @DrTunjiAlausa for this forward-looking leadership, placing education at the heart of competitiveness. @UNDPNigeria looks forward to deepening collaboration through this initiative via #UniPods across the country to unlock the full potential of Nigeria’s #NextGen.
Strategic partnerships are key to building resilient healthcare systems in Nigeria.
In a meeting with the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako, our Resident Representative, @ElsieAttafuah discussed advancing the Energy–Health Nexus. Following last year’s Conference on Power and Health, we welcome the President’s approval of the National Roadmap for Health Facilities Solarization.
The initiative targets solarizing 30% of healthcare facilities by 2030, ensuring reliable energy for essential services.
@UNDP is proud to support this effort through the Steering Committee and ongoing energy diagnostics across states.
Reliable energy powers life-saving care.
An insightful engagement between our Resident Representative, @ElsieAttafuah and H.E. Governor @ubasanius of Kaduna State, centered on accelerating Kaduna’s development priorities through systems-driven reforms and high-impact partnerships.
By aligning @NigeriaJFP with the Integrated Smart State Programme, we are advancing human capital, strengthening institutional systems, and transforming service delivery to position Kaduna State as competitive, inclusive and future-ready, while catalyzing innovation across trade, renewable energy, agriculture and public sector reform to turn policy priorities into real, people-centered outcomes.

Today marked a defining moment in Africa’s trade journey as we flagged-off the 1st air cargo shipment from 🇳🇬 to the East and Southern African corridor.
This is Africa, connecting & moving forward together. 🤝
Thanks to @fmitiofficial & @UG_Airlines for making this possible.
What an exciting week for #AfricanBusiness owners!
From the flag off of the East/Southern Africa cargo airfreight corridor to the launch of the #MarketIntelligenceTool (MIT).
This tool gives entrepreneurs the information they need to trade smarter, & compete fairly.
Today, we bid farewell to Alizee. Your dedication and expertise have left an indelible mark on @UNDPNigeria’s Governance, Peace, and Security portfolio. Thank you for helping shape inclusive policies and deepen our impact across communities in #NorthWest 🇳🇬
Alizee brought not only technical excellence but also heart, empathy, and a deep commitment to people-centered development. Wishing you the very best ��� you’ll always be part of the @UNDP 🇳🇬family. 💙
Honoured to have signed a landmark MoU today with the Hon. Minister of Foreign Affairs @NigeriaMFA on the Regional Partnership for Democracy (RPD) — a bold step toward African-led, homegrown solutions to strengthen democratic governance across #WestAfrica.
My deepest appreciation to Hon. Minister @YusufTuggar for his unwavering commitment and partnership. Together, we are strengthening institutions and advancing inclusive, accountable leadership across the region.
Democracy must not only be protected, it must be made to deliver. And Africa is ready to lead. The RPD is poised to redefine how democracy is nurtured and owned by Africans, for Africa.
@NigeriaGov
Had an inspiring conversation with Governor @CalebMutfwang of Plateau state.
