I'm so excited to join the #LocalPathways Fellowship for its 2026 cohort, along with 101 young urban leaders who will champion pathways and solutions for sustainable development in their cities. Thank you to @SDSNYouth Youth and @localpathways for the opportunity!

I’m honored to share that I have been selected as part of the 2026 cohort of the @localpathways. This global network brings together 101 young urban leaders committed to advancing #SDG11 by making our cities more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.

Congratulations boo🥹

Congratulations to me, I satisfied @SDSNYouth @localpathways team, and I just received my certificate🎈🍾🎉 The past 11 months has met me with rigorous work, and learning as a fellow, and i am grateful for this opportunity. During my time as a Local Pathways Fellow, I conducted research on: “Addressing Housing Inequality and Informal Settlements in Abuja: Pathway to Achieving SDG 11.1.” I chose this because I live in Abuja, and I’ve seen how housing inequality shapes daily life. Rapid urban growth has pushed low-income residents into informal settlements with insecure tenure, poor sanitation, overcrowding, and limited access to basic services. Housing isn’t just shelter. It affects health, education, productivity, and long-term opportunity. My research focused on: • Policy gaps in urban housing frameworks • The exclusion of informal settlements from formal planning • Community-driven, evidence-based pathways toward SDG 11.1 • Inclusive urban policy reform This work strengthened my focus on urban governance, housing equity, and SDG localization. I don’t want to stop here, I’m open to collaborations, research partnerships, and policy-focused projects working on sustainable cities and inclusive development. Let’s build cities that work for everyone.
