“Africa’s progress will not be won in conference halls alone. It will be won in the hard, unglamorous work of turning ideas into institutions, diagnoses into delivery, and words into action.”
In his virtual welcome remarks at the opening of the Development Festival (#DevFest26), organised by Nextier and hosted at the CoSPAL Secretariat on 13 October 2026, the Secretary-General of CoSPAL, Amb. ’Dapo Oyewole, called on development practitioners from across Nigeria, Africa and beyond to bridge the gap between policy formulation and implementation.
He emphasised the role of legislatures in driving lasting reform, noting: “Parliaments are not just chambers of debate; they are engine rooms of reform. They are the institutions that turn policy into law and law into lived reality for our people… When legislatures lead, reforms last.”
As a partner of Nextier DevFest 26, CoSPAL applauds Mr Patrick Okigbo and his team for convening the Festival and fostering meaningful dialogue on Africa’s development priorities.
DevFest’s call to move from conversation to action reflects CoSPAL’s commitment to strengthening legislative leadership, advancing parliamentary cooperation and translating commitments into tangible outcomes that will bolster inclusive development Africa.
