Big news out of Nigeria this past week: One of the largest surveys into gender-based violence (GBV) in Nigerian universities revealed that 70% of female students, 30% of male students, 63% of female staff, and 37% of male staff report experiencing some form of GBV on campus. Alliances for Africa and the Centre for Gender Studies at Kaduna State University carried out the report and presented the findings for International Women's Day.

FemIDEAS's fieldwork examining sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in Nigerian universities found similar results. We found that university responses tend to engage in victim-blaming and reinforce patriarchal attitudes towards gender and power. Given the similarities in our findings and that of the new survey, we wanted to share some of our recommendations made with partners in and outside of Nigerian HE for improving the prevention of and response to SGBV in universities.

The 5th edition of #TheBreakingforth event, the annual interschool Spoken Words Competition among Secondary School Students organized by my organization #SkillfulMindsWholesomeInitiativeForWomenAndChildren (SMWIWC) held on Thursday the 20th of November, 2025 with the theme: “Set New Records, Make History.”

The event took place in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja and had students from 3 participating schools in the city, educators, facilitators, parents and special guests.

After an intense competition and intriguing poetry performance by the participants, students from Kids Fun House Montessori School emerged as the winners. Kudos to our amiable judges who did a good job grading the presentations by the students.

Other activities at the event included the Art Showcase, students displayed their artworks such as paintings and beadwork to the admiration of the audience and our partners.

Other highlights of the day event included the presentation of prizes to the best students and presentation of certificates to all participants. The students also got copies of “THE PRICELESS POSSESSION” and “NEVER TOO LATE” books written by me. I stressed the need for the students to stay focused on their studies and skills if they want to turn champions and history makers.

The students also got copies of the book, “Sowing Seeds Of Peace” authored by one of our speakers at the event, Mr. Isah Sani @IsahSani he and our second keynote speaker @smartnation_1, encouraged the students on the importance of training and discipline both in academics and in their talents and skills to excel in life.

We appreciate all our amazing partners @united_panafricanist_movement, @sofadondo_advocacy, @finxhost, @amg_photography010 , @kings_media_studio @happi_tote & everyone who supported one way or another for the success of this year’s edition of the event.

For us at #SkillfulMindsWholesomeInitiative, we are delighted to have been able to once again provide a platform for the youngsters to showcase their literary talents & skills. We look forward to making more impact, changing more lives & helping many more young minds Breakforth from all barriers!!

As August 2024 draws to a close, I am deeply honored to receive the prestigious Prof. Wole Soyinka Leadership Award for Youth Leadership and Innovation. This award is a testament to the power of leadership and innovation in driving positive change in Africa.

I am humbled to be recognized among the next generation of leaders committed to grassroots advocacy. Being recognized by the first African and only Nigerian Nobel Laureate in Literature, a renowned crusader for social change, on the occasion of his 90th birthday, means a great deal to me.

It was a pleasure to meet Chief Emeka Anyaoku, former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, who presented my award, and @brfashola (SAN), former Governor of Lagos State and immediate past Minister of Works.

I am grateful for this recognition and inspired to continue driving impact, empowering others, and upholding the values of leadership, innovation, and social change through Poets in Nigeria Initiative (PIN) @sofadondo_advocacy Group, @tblfoundation_ , @brencare_foundation, @Crown Tomorrow Foundation and @hopeforstreetkidsoutreach.

Special thanks to the award organizing committee, led by Dr. Olu Ajayi, the judges, and, of course, Prof. Soyinka, for this esteemed honor!

Gender Mobile Initiative Press Conference demands the enactment of the sexual harassment prevention, prohibition, and redressal bill in tertiary institutions.

Gender Mobile Initiative’s Lead Director, Omowumi Ogunrotimi, called on the president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), to sign the sexual harassment prevention, prohibition, and redressal bill in tertiary institutions into law.

Speakers at the press conference decried the pervasiveness of sexual harassment in Nigerian universities and called for urgent action to address this critical issue. They emphasized that sexual harassment creates a hostile and intimidating learning environment for students, particularly female students, and can have a devastating impact on their physical, emotional, and academic well-being.

Participants at the press conference included representatives of higher education institutions, representative of the FCT Commissioner for Women Affairs, representatives from sister organizations, and members of the press.

As we continue to demand the enactment of the bill, we urge critical stakeholders to collaborate to create a future where tertiary institutions are free from sexual harassment and where all students can thrive.
