10 years after President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua's passing, we are constantly reminded about his humanity, his dedication to duty and his desire for a Nigeria we can all be proud of. May Allah (SWT) forgive his sins and continue to retain for him a place in Aljannah Firdaus.

I would like to offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Uwaila Omozuwa. I expect the Nigeria Police Force to speedily and diligently investigate this case and ensure that all the culprits responsible for this barbaric act are brought to justice.

The scourge of forced marriages UNFPA Nigeria ✊🏾 yemialade is one of the glaring and unique burdens that women and girls carry. None is spared, girls, young women, divorcees, widows. Authorities in Nigeria must aggressively implement VAPP to offer a new lease of life for women.

The right to peaceful protest is protected by human rights law. Govt must take positive action to ensure realisation of the right to peaceful protest. The use of live bullets against peaceful protesters is a crime and should be punished. #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeraNOW
