Last week, we joined the maiden Pres Committee on Economic and Financial Inclusion #NFES2025 at Aso Villa. The summit mapped opportunities in sustainable forestry that could unlock $2 billion in forest revenue. Our strategist Ridwan Jaafar presented our community-business model to Senator Kashim Shettima represented by Senator Ibrahim Hadejia

“Nigeria asserts that Africa’s voice must not echo as a cry of vulnerability, but as a chorus of innovation. Our continent is rich in renewable resources, biodiversity, and youthful ingenuity. I hereby say with absolute certainty that we are not the problem; we are an integral

Great speech by the VP outlining clear roadmap to unlock climate finance for Nigeria. The next step now is turning these frameworks into real outcomes — restoring biodiversity, tackling deforestation, investing in locally-led adaptation rooted in community & ecosystem resilience.
