2025 Wrapped: A Year of Bold Conversations & Impactful Action!

What a journey it has been! At Africa Policy Conversations, 2025 was dedicated to moving beyond the surface of policy to drive real, continental change. From the digital airwaves of X Spaces to the halls of the National Assembly, we’ve worked to empower the next generation of African leaders and thinkers.

Here’s how our year unfolded:

March: We celebrated 50 Sheroes of Africa, honoring women breaking barriers across the continent.

May: Launched our “Trade Not Aid” series, exploring how the AfCFTA can drive economic self-reliance with insights from industry experts.

June: Facilitated a Legislative Exposure Visit for youth from Isu Nwangele LGA, bringing future lawmakers face-to-face with Nigeria’s democratic processes.

August: Tackled gender parity in our “Women in Governance” webinar, unpacking the reality of the Reserved Seats Bill.

November: Dived deep into the complex intersections of Religion, Violence, and External Intervention in Nigeria.

Internship Program: Successfully mentored our inaugural cohort of pan-African development interns.

While these highlights capture our biggest milestones, they are just a glimpse of the daily advocacy, research, and community building we’ve done behind the scenes.

To our speakers, partners, and community, thank you for being part of this vision. We are just getting started. See you in 2026!

Can sovereignty still be the ultimate defence when a government fails to protect its own people?

During our X Space on Religion, Violence, and External Intervention in Nigeria, panelist Amara Nwankpa offered a powerful reflection: “Sovereignty is not absolute. It can be questioned when the government has shown manifest failure in protecting its citizens.”

This raises a key question: when does the international principle of non-interference give way to the moral and political duty to act?

In a world where mass atrocities have triggered global doctrines like the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), what does it mean for Nigeria when insecurity persists and violence is framed through religious and political lenses?

Let us know what you think.

Since 2009, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has consistently recommended Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern — for 17 consecutive years.

Why?
Because religious freedom in Nigeria continues to be undermined — not just by extremist actors, but by state inaction, legal frameworks, and in some cases, complicity.

From documented blasphemy prosecutions and targeted violence to the destruction of religious shrines and selective enforcement of laws, patterns of persecution are not only recurring — they are systemically enabled.

We must stop waiting for external actors to act on behalf of Nigerians. It’s time to reflect, ask hard questions, and take accountability.

Nigeria’s violence landscape remains one of the most debated and misunderstood issues in global policy circles. While the government maintains that attacks are “arbitrary,” international observers and researchers point to recurring patterns that deserve deeper scrutiny.

From data collected by the Nigerian Security Tracker, ACLED, and multiple rights organizations, one fact remains clear: local drivers of violence are layered — political exclusion, land-use conflict, criminal networks, and ethno-religious tensions overlapping in complex ways.

At Africa Policy Conversations, we are asking the hard questions:
Are these attacks random, or is there a pattern we must confront?
What evidence do we need before framing the crisis through a religious or ethnic lens?
How do global narratives shape interventions, sanctions, diplomacy, and even public opinion?

These highlights from our X Space reflect the urgency of building an evidence-informed approach to Nigeria’s security realities.

Join the conversation as we continue unpacking what is driving the narrative.
