In a session titled “Shaping a Different Future,” the dialogue highlighted the impact of global feminist icons, specifically highlighting Nigeria’s world-renowned author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Her voice, alongside others like Maya Angelou and Angela Davis, served as a cornerstone for the assertion that African women must refuse to accept a world that treats them as second-rate citizens.
Nigeria is not only endowed but as religious Nigerians will say, blessed with an abundance of renewable energy sources, with solar power, in particular, holding immense potential due to the country’s high solar irradiance levels.

For the people of Plateau – farmers, traders, youth, displaced victims of violence – this movement of elites carries real consequences. When political commitments hinge on which party holds either the President or governor’s interest rather than which clear and realistic path towards delivering better schools, better security or better jobs— then governance becomes reactive and ephemeral. Projects stall. Promises fade. Communities wait. The populace becomes the battlefield for elite shifts.

Across Nigeria, men are breaking menstrual taboos and leading efforts to end period poverty — from teaching girls about menstrual health to producing reusable sanitary pads made from banana fibre.

From the shrinking edges of Lake Chad to the flood-swamped plains of the Niger Delta, Nigeria is living through a storm not only of weather but of destiny.

The state policing debate in Plateau State exemplifies a broader Nigerian challenge: how to reform security governance in a federal system plagued by insecurity and political mistrust.

More than ever, Nigeria needs state police, not tomorrow, not someday, but now. Citizens deserve a system that protects them, empowers them, and brings governance closer to their realities. Anything less is a betrayal of the very idea of federalism.
