  Time for Action: Advocating for Africa’s Permanent Seat at the UN Security Council The world today is witnessing unprecedented global shifts in power, politics, and diplomacy. As nations face an increasingly interconnected future, the need for fair representation and global inclusivity has never been more critical. One glaring omission from this global governance structure is the absence of African representation as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). This is not a time for “ hope,” as UN Chief António Guterres mentioned during his visit to Ethiopia on October 21, 2024, but a time for action —decisive action from both African leaders and the United Nations.   A World in Flux: Africa's Place at the Table Africa, with its diverse population of over 1.4 billion people —the second largest of any continent—plays an integral role in the world's economy, politics, and security. However, Africa's exclusion from permanent representation at the UNSC ...

  MENTORSHIP: RECOGNIZING THE IMPACTS THAT OFTEN GO UNRECOGNIZED In a world where success is often seen as a solo journey, the role of mentors, partners, and the people who contribute to our growth is frequently overlooked. As someone who has spent over 17 years navigating the fields of ICT, Defense, Development, Prints, and Branding , I, Wilson Babangida Agboti , recognize that the heights I've reached are not mine alone. This article is not about me, but rather about the few among several individuals and brands whose influence has been pivotal in shaping the professional and personal milestones I've attained. Throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of working with remarkable individuals and companies, each of whom has left an indelible mark on my career. Some of these relationships have evolved into long-standing partnerships, while others have ended, yet their impact remains. For others, our connection is one of lasting gratitude. Regardless of where the journey ...

INSTITUTIONAL COOPERATION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF UN RESOLUTION 1325: WOMEN, PEACE, AND SECURITY. WRITTEN BY Wilson Babangida AGBOTI Introduction The United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 is a groundbreaking mandate that addresses the disproportionate impact of conflict on women and the critical role women must play in peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction. As a seasoned defense and development consultant and an advocate for gender equality through my leadership at Community Impact Affinity (CIA), I have witnessed the transformative power of institutional cooperation in driving sustainable development goals (SDGs). This article delves into the role of institutional cooperation in implementing Resolution 1325, drawing from my own experiences, global examples, and the broader framework of peace and security and sustainability.   The Significance of Resolution 1325 Adopted in 2000, UNSCR 1325 laid the foundation for addressing the underreprese...

  The refusal of Nigerian citizens to return home from Lebanon, even in the midst of war, is a powerful and troubling indication of the growing distrust and loss of confidence in the Nigerian system. This situation highlights the deep-rooted challenges that have plagued the country: political policy instability, corruption, economic hardship, insecurity, inflation, and overall mismanagement. These issues have undermined the democratic promise Nigeria once held. As the nation continues to grapple with these systemic challenges, it is no surprise that many experts and skilled professionals are leaving the country every day, seeking better opportunities abroad—even in places where uncertainty looms. This steady outflow of human capital underscores the gravity of the situation at home, where citizens have seemingly lost hope in any prospect of positive change. The frustration is not only palpable but also dangerous: Nigeria, a nation with immense potential, is watching its best minds l...

  A CALL FOR GENDER BALANCE, INCLUSIVITY, AND INVOLVEMENT OF WOMEN AND YOUTH IN GOVERNANCE AND POLICY-MAKING IN NIGERIA.   Nigeria's democratic and socio-economic growth hinges on the inclusion of diverse voices in governance and policy-making. However, gender imbalance and the marginalization of youth have long plagued the country’s political sphere. A call for the increased involvement of women and youth in these critical areas is not just an advocacy issue, but a national imperative. Women and young people represent a significant portion of Nigeria’s population and have proven their capacity to contribute meaningfully to national development. Addressing these disparities will enhance governance, promote inclusivity, and foster sustainable development in line with global trends. The Growing Role of Women in Development In recent years, the world has witnessed a notable and rapid increase in the involvement of women in the development sector. Women across the world an...
