Today, I was honoured to join Nigeria’s National Population Commission Nigeria, and UNFPA Nigeria Partners in commemorating the Fourth Anniversary of the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25+4: Accelerating The Promise.

In my Stakeholders Goodwill Keynote delivered virtually, and contained in the Wellbeing Foundation Africa Progress Report, I emphasized the pivotal importance and transformative impact of addressing issues of population management and development with particular attention on women, girls and young people.

Observing the 4th Anniversary under the theme – “Sexual and Reproductive Health Justice Cannot Wait: All Rights, Women, Girls & Young People, Act Now,” Nigeria has remained committed to realising the three (3) transformative results expressed as Zero Preventable Maternal Death, Zero Unmet Need For Family Planning, and Zero Harmful Practices that are against women and girls, including Gender-Based Violence.

The Nairobi Summit, on whose International Steering Committee I serve, created an enduring platform for effective and productive engagements for advancing the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
