Nigeria: A Financial Powerhouse Battling Illicit Outflows Nigeria's economic potential is immense, yet hindered by significant illicit financial flows. To address this, we recently engaged with The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria - CIBN and The Banker Directors Association of Nigeria (BDAN) to foster collaboration on combating illicit financial flows and promoting sustainable banking practices. Our discussions highlighted the critical need for: 1. Gender equality: Promoting financial inclusion for the 30% of Nigerian women currently excluded from the formal financial system. 2. Environmental sustainability: Addressing the impact of sectors like oil and gas, and agriculture on our environment. 3. Ethical business practices: Ensuring banks align their operations with human rights and good governance principles. Through the Fair Finance Nigeria Coalition (#FFNG), we are committed to driving ESG integration within Nigeria's financial sector. By working together with key stakeholders, we aim to build a more sustainable, inclusive, and prosperous financial ecosystem. Join us in creating a fair and sustainable financial system for Nigeria! #FFNG #responsibleinvesting, #ESG, #transparency #genderequality.

Celebrating Women in Nigerian Agriculture! Empowering Women Farmers Strengthens Food Security Recently, Oxfam in Nigeria celebrated female food heroes. The event combined a policy dialogue highlighting the crucial role women play in Nigerian agriculture with the "Female Food Hero 2024" award ceremony. The theme was "Promoting the Role of Women Food Producers and their Contribution to Food Security in Nigeria." These women are essential to the agricultural sector, involved in every step from planting to processing. The ceremony celebrated three exceptional women farmers who emerged as winners after a competitive selection process: - Ogbonge Grace Okwor (1st Place Winner) - Ogbonge Abdullahi Altine Lucy (2nd Place Winner) - Ogbonge Folashade Olaniyan Josephine (3rd Place Winner) This event not only recognized their achievements but also served as a powerful call to action. Stakeholders were urged to implement policies and provide financial support to empower women farmers further. Among the stakeholders present were; Deputy Chair, House Committee on Environment, Hon. Terseer Ugbor; Rep, Hon. Minister, Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Edet Duke; Rep, Chairman, FCT Farmer’s Association; Mr. Dauda; Rep, Managing Director, Bank of Agriculture, Salma Isah (Mrs); National Coordinator, GEF Small Grants Programme, UNDP Nigeria, Ibironke OLUBAMISE; Ag. Director, Planning Policy & Coordination, National Agency for the Great Green Wall, Habibah Usman Ibrahim; Renowned Pastoralist, Mohammed Bello Tukur; Member, Adamawa State House of Assembly, Kate Raymond (Mrs). Increased support for women in agriculture is critical for strengthening Nigeria's food security. #WomenInAgriculture #FoodSecurity #Nigeria Are you passionate about empowering women in agriculture?
