Being invited by the @_AfricanUnion is more than an opportunity it’s a responsibility.
It reminds me that showing up consistently, advocating for young people, and doing the work with purpose creates pathways to influence. Every seat at the table is a chance to ensure youth perspectives are not just heard, but reflected in the decisions that shape our future.
This experience has strengthened my commitment to keep amplifying the voices of young people, especially on climate action, migration, and sustainable development.
The work continues. The mission remains the same: ensuring youth are represented where decisions are made.
Grateful for the opportunity. Onward.

@FinPlanKaluAja1 I have so many questions???
Who are we fooling?
What impact has this supposed council done to have this much budget allocated to it please?
@FinPlanKaluAja1 Yet, the highlighted Presidential Economic Advisory Council/Council on Foreign Intervention Promotion is allocated ₦1.303 billion almost twice as much.
@FinPlanKaluAja1 In the proposed 2026 budget, the National Council on Climate Change the institution responsible for coordinating Nigeria’s climate policies, adaptation, resilience, and climate commitments has an allocation of ₦651 million.
Honoured to represent the Youth Climate Network & Development Initiative at the High-Level Policy Dialogue on Mobility, Environment & Climate Change in the East and Horn of Africa, Addis Ababa.
My message was simple: Africa has the frameworks. Now we need adoption, implementation, stronger data systems, and coordinated action. Climate mobility demands action—not more declarations.
Grateful to the organizers and partners for creating space for youth leadership.

I am delighted to share that I have been selected as a Fellow of the 2026 African Youth Negotiators Fellowship (AYNF).
This fellowship presents a unique opportunity to strengthen my understanding of international climate negotiations and engage with a network of young leaders committed to shaping Africa’s climate future. As climate impacts continue to affect communities across the continent, it is increasingly important that young people are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and platforms needed to contribute meaningfully to policy processes and decision-making.
I look forward to learning from experienced negotiators, exchanging ideas with fellows from across Africa, and deepening my engagement on issues at the intersection of climate change, climate mobility, migration, peace, and sustainable development.

However, adoption alone is not enough. We must move beyond signing declarations and commitments to ensuring effective implementation, adequate financing, strong data systems, and accountability mechanisms that translate policy into action.
The frameworks exist. The task before us is to make them work for the communities and people most affected by climate change.
We cannot fully address the challenges of climate mobility without adopting and implementing meaningful frameworks that respond to the realities of climate change and its impacts across the South, East, and Horn of Africa.
Today, I called for more countries to adopt the Kampala Declaration on Migration, Environment and Climate Change, one of the few regional frameworks that comprehensively addresses the links between climate mobility, environmental degradation, displacement, adaptation, and resilience.
