Our Executive Director, Babs Olusola Babalola, was on Global Morning yesterday talking public policy and national development, and why so many good policies in Nigeria never quite reach the people they’re meant for.

Some highlights:
🔹 Policies often look great on paper but fail at implementation
🔹 New administrations tend to abandon their predecessors’ policies instead of building on them
🔹 Real progress needs long-term investment, not just quick wins
🔹 Citizens need to understand and own the policies that affect them, starting with how they’re communicated
🔹 Subsidy removal only works if the savings actually improve people’s lives

Over the weekend, our Executive Director, Babs Olusola Babalola , joined Global Morning to talk about something that matters to all of us: why strong institutions, not strong individuals, are what actually move a nation forward.

He spoke on trust, accountability, security, and Nigeria’s electoral journey.

Some things worth thinking about:

🔹 Strong institutions are the engine room of government — not strong individuals
🔹 Open governance and citizen participation in budgeting can rebuild trust
🔹 State police could be a game-changer for security — if insulated from political interference
🔹 Nigeria’s elections have moved from “sham” to a “glimmer of hope,” but vote-buying still threatens progress

🌍 Inclusive Climate Action: Ensuring Climate Change Interventions Are Universally Designed

Climate change affects everyone, but not everyone experiences its impacts equally. Building resilient communities requires climate solutions that are inclusive, accessible, and responsive to the needs of persons with disabilities and other marginalized groups.

Join the conversation as we explore how climate policies and interventions can be designed to ensure that no one is left behind.

Change doesn’t always begin in big rooms or with big titles.
Often, it starts quietly, with one person choosing to act, to care, to help, to speak up.

Progress grows when individuals take responsibility and communities move together, one action at a time.

This week, remember that meaningful change can start with any of us. Person to person, step by step.

What if the biggest environmental problems in Nigeria are the ones we’ve already accepted as “normal”?

Burning waste.
Plastic-filled drainages.
Everyday food waste.
Bush burning.

We see them so often that we rarely stop to question them.

But these everyday habits quietly affect our health, our communities, and our future.

Sometimes the first step toward change is simply refusing to ignore the problem.

Swipe through to see environmental issues we encounter daily — but rarely talk about.

Real change doesn’t happen overnight. It takes effort. It takes consistency. It takes showing up, again and again.

Energy fuels the vision. Persistence carries it through the challenges. And together, they turn ideas into impact.

This week, stay committed to the work that matters. Progress may be gradual, but persistence always moves us forward.
