TRIBUTE TO LATE ELDER MATTHEW AGABI
With profound grief and gratitude to God, we honour the life of Late Elder Matthew Agabi.
Elder Matthew was an astute professional media practitioner whose excellence was matched only by his humility. He was a man always behind the camera, ensuring that truth, events, and moments were captured with precision while he remained out of the spotlight.

Beyond the church, he worked closely within the civil society and civic space. His lens documented struggles, advocacy, and progress. He understood that media is not just recording, but bearing witness for accountability and change. Through his work, countless moments that might otherwise have been forgotten became part of the collective memory of communities and institutions.

Challenged Parenthood Initiative (CPI) had the privilege of a personal and professional relationship with him. He traveled with us to nearly every meeting and workshop across the state. Rain or shine, distance or terrain, Elder Matthew was there , camera in hand, calm in spirit, and friendly to all. He didn’t just cover our programs; he became an integral part of our journey. Through his simplicity and easy-going nature, he made every team feel at home.

His quiet professionalism, reliability, and integrity earned him the respect and affection of those privileged to work with him. A man who served God, community, and country without noise or demand for recognition.

Elder Agabi has now laid down his camera for the last time. But the images he created, the causes he supported, and the lives he touched will continue to speak.

As an organisation, we deeply cherish the privilege of having worked alongside him. His absence leaves a void that would be felt for years to come, but we remain grateful for the gift of his life and service.

We thank God for 57 years of a life well lived. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace, and may the Lord strengthen his family and all who mourn him.
“He has shown you, O man, what is good… and to walk humbly with your God.” – Micah 6:8

Investing in children's education is investing in the future we all hope to see.

Our Executive Director had the honour of attending the Proof Spelling Bee Competition organised International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Kogi Chapter, to mark Children's Day 2026 with the theme, "One Child, One Word, One Hope." The event brought together outstanding students from Muslim Community Secondary School, GYB Model Science Secondary School, Eagles Academy, Majesty International School, Bishop Delise, and Baptist High School, creating a platform that celebrated literacy, confidence, healthy competition, and academic excellence.

Speaking at the event, our Executive Director commended the commitment of teachers and school administrators who continue to nurture young minds despite the challenges facing the education sector. She particularly applauded the remarkable performance of GYB Model Science Secondary School, which emerged as the overall winner of the competition.

According to her, GYB's success is a strong reminder that there is hope for public schools when dedicated teachers, supportive learning environments, and determined students come together in pursuit of excellence. She had the privilege of presenting the winning award to the school and congratulated all participating students for their courage, preparation, and outstanding display of knowledge.

At Challenged Parenthood Initiative (CPI), we remain committed to supporting initiatives that promote quality education, literacy, and the holistic development of children. We commend the organisers for creating a meaningful platform that inspires young people to learn, dream, and excel.

Congratulations to all participating schools and students. The future is bright, and these young champions are proof of it.

Today, we celebrate the joy, dreams, innocence, resilience, and limitless potential of every child.

As we commemorate Children’s Day 2026 under the theme, “Future Now: Promoting Inclusion for Every Nigerian Child,” we are reminded that every child deserves love, protection, quality education, good health, and equal opportunities to thrive in a safe and supportive environment.

At Challenged Parenthood Initiative (CPI), we believe that inclusion means ensuring that no child is left behind regardless of background, circumstance, ability, or location. Every child deserves to be heard, valued, protected, and empowered to reach their full potential.

As we celebrate today, we also remember children and families across the country facing painful realities. Our hearts are especially with the affected families and communities in Ahoro-Esinle, Orire LAGA, Oyo State, following the recent abduction incident involving school children. It is a painful reminder that beyond the celebrations, the safety, protection, and wellbeing of every Nigerian child must remain a shared responsibility.

Children’s Day should not only inspire celebration, but also strengthen our collective commitment to creating a society where children can live, learn, dream, and grow without fear.

To every child out there:
Your dreams matter.
Your voice matters.
Your safety matters.
Your future matters.

Happy Children’s Day from all of us at Challenged Parenthood Initiative (CPI).

We are delighted to celebrate a significant milestone as the Kogi State Government inaugurates the 21-member State Consultative Committee on Statistics (SCCS), a strategic body established to strengthen statistical coordination and support the effective implementation of the State’s 32-year Development Plan.

Challenged Parenthood Initiative (CPI) is especially honoured that our Executive Director Ms. Eunice Abimbola Agbogun, was inaugurated as one of the members of the committee, representing a strong recognition of the importance of inclusive development, data-driven planning, and multi-sector collaboration.

The committee is expected to play a vital role in improving statistical data collection, coordination, and planning processes across the state to ensure sustainable growth and informed decision-making.

We congratulate all inaugurated members and look forward to contributing meaningfully towards a more inclusive and data-informed Kogi State.

Today, on the International Day of the Boy Child, we celebrate the strength, dreams, voices, and potential of every boy child.

Boys deserve to be seen, heard, guided, protected, and empowered to become responsible men who will shape a better society tomorrow.

At Challenged Parenthood Initiative, we believe that investing in boys today means investing in safer communities, stronger families, and a brighter future for all. When we teach boys empathy, leadership, responsibility, and confidence, we raise men who will positively influence the world around them.

Let us raise boys who are emotionally healthy, respectful, educated, and purpose-driven.

The future we desire begins with the boys we nurture today.

Happy International Day of the Boy Child.

For the people of Ganaja, flooding is more than a seasonal disaster, it is a recurring crisis that continues to affect homes, livelihoods, healthcare, education, and access to basic necessities.

Over the past months, Challenge Parenthood Initiative (CPI), with support from Heinrich Böll Stiftung (HBS) and Arctic Infrastructure (AI), has been working closely with the Ganaja community to ensure their voices are heard and their needs prioritized through sustained advocacy and stakeholder engagement.

As part of this effort, CPI and the community representatives carried out follow-up advocacy visits to both the National Hydroelectric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (N-HYPPADEC) and the Nigeria Climate Adaptation, Erosion and Watershed Project (NEWMAP) in Kogi State.

During the engagements, the delegation presented key demands captured in the Ganaja Charter of Demand and Flood Resilience Action Plan.

The visits recorded encouraging commitments from both agencies. While N-HYPPADEC reaffirmed its commitment to providing potable water for the community, NEWMAP announced immediate intervention through the provision of life jackets and further technical assessments for water infrastructure in the community.

These engagements represent more than meetings, they are part of a broader movement toward building safer, more resilient communities where vulnerable residents are not left behind in decisions that affect their future.

At CPI, we remain committed to community-driven advocacy, accountability, and sustainable solutions that improve the lives of people most affected by climate-related disasters.

Your Voice Matters! Your Vote Counts!

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the Third Phase of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, scheduled to hold from 11th May to 10th July, 2026.

This is a call to every eligible Nigerian, especially WOMEN, to step forward, register, and collect your Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC). Women’s participation in politics and decision-making is essential for inclusive governance and stronger communities.

If you are:
✅ 18 years and above
✅ Yet to register
✅ Need to transfer your voter registration
✅ Need correction or replacement of your PVC

Now is the time to act.

Don’t just complain about leadership, participate in choosing it. Let our voices be seen, heard, and counted at the polls.

Together, we can build a future where we actively shape governance and democratic processes.

The Road to 2027: Key Election Milestones & Deadlines

As preparations for the 2027 General Elections continue, stakeholders are tracking key timelines released by INEC Nigeria that are shaping the electoral roadmap.

As at May 12, 2026, five political parties (APC, ADC, LP, APGA, and PDP) have published date-specific primary schedules.

The APC will hold primaries from May 15–23, beginning with the House of Representatives (May 15), Senate (May 18), State House of Assembly (May 20), governorship (May 21), and presidential primary on May 23, 2026.

The ADC has scheduled National Assembly and State House of Assembly primaries for May 21, governorship on May 22, and presidential primary on May 23, 2026.

The Labour Party (LP) will conduct State House of Assembly and governorship primaries on May 27, and National Assembly and presidential primaries on May 29, 2026.

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has fixed all primaries for May 23, 2026.

Within the PDP, parallel timelines persist: the Wike-aligned faction holds its presidential primary for May 17–18, 2026, followed by House of Representatives primaries on May 21, Senate primaries on May 23, State House of Assembly primaries on May 25, and governorship primaries on May 27, 2026.

In contrast, the Turaki-led faction has scheduled ward primaries for all offices on May 27, with appeals on May 28, 2026.

As political parties, aspirants, and citizens begin positioning for the next electoral cycle, tracking these deadlines remains critical to understanding how the process unfolds and what to expect in the months ahead.
