Tomorrow, Iβll be speaking at the 3-Day Virtual Youth Workshop by Podium Path Initiative.
Day 3: Leadership
Topic: Building the confidence and skills to lead and create impact.
Honoured to announce my appointment as Director, Climate Advisory Board / Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the International Youth Institute, USA.
This role is a call to keep bridging global climate action with local impact especially for young people across Africa.
Watching the World Bank Fragility Forum 2026 reminds me how central young people are to stable societies.
1.2 billion youth will reach working age by 2035.
In Sub-Saharan Africa the youth population is growing fast, yet global youth unemployment is 12.4%, and 1 in 5 young people are not in work, education or training.
These numbers represent energy that can either strengthen communities or deepen fragility.
Our Abuja Chapter, volunteers, and community members came together at Utako Market for a Community Cleanup Drive. We cleaned, promoted environmental responsibility, and stood for cleaner streets and healthier communities.
Thank you to everyone who showed up and made an impact.
CIA Nigeria was proudly represented at the Nigeria First β Southern Civil Society Organisations Summit 2026 by our Lagos State Liaison Officer, Stephen Omatule U.
Our participation reinforces our commitment to creating lasting impact across Nigeria.
