Over the years, plastic pollution has been narrated as a litter and waste problem in #Nigeria
This is unfair! The Nigerian public need to be informed about the risk to their health from toxic chemicals in plastics
This is aimed to build capacity for journalists

Solar met 75% of global electricity demand growth in 2025. Clean power covered all new demand, so fossil generation didn’t rise for the first time since 2020.
Solar electricity is on track to become by far the biggest source of power.

Road to #Geneva is not just about plastic, it’s about justice, jobs & just transition. If the right deal is struck Nigeria'll be better equipped to leap from plastic pollution crisis to reuse-powered transformation
It’s time for the global community to deliver & Nigeria to rise!

Finance is never neutral. It either closes gaps — or it widens them.

🌍At the #SpringMeetings #CSPF2025, we asked:
How can finance unlock a just & inclusive global plastic treaty?
From MEA lessons to the role of informal waste pickers—this conversation was a call to reimagine finance for people & planet.

Our global institutions were built at a time when most of Africa was under colonial rule.
Many of them are stuck in those times, unable to respond to the aspirations & rights of the African people.
We can only move forward if we make them more effective, fair & inclusive.
