It serves as the regional forum for multi-stakeholder dialogue on internet governance concerns in Africa. In order to discuss and exchange ideas on important internet governance issues affecting Africa, the AfIGF will bring together representatives from governments, civil society, the commercial sector, academia, the technical community, and the media from all over the continent and beyond. Topics including data protection and privacy, digital rights and inclusion, cybersecurity and trust, digital economy and innovation, digital transformation and governance, and regional and international cooperation will all be on the agenda of the AfIGF. It immediately follows this year’s biennial African School on Internet Governance (AfriSIG), which took place in Abuja, Nigeria, from September 13 to September 18, 2023. The African Union Commission (AUC), Research ICT Africa, the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), the United Nations Internet Governance Forum Parliamentary Track, and other stakeholders worked together to create AfriSIG.

Read MoreThe 17th installment of the CSO Professionalism and Effectiveness Therapy (CPET) Workshop, which was successfully carried out last week by Access Bank Plc and CSR-in-Action Group as part of their long-standing collaboration to improve the effectiveness of charities and volunteer citizen groups, was held last week. The theme of the 17th C-PET course was “UN SDGs Compliance for Nonprofits.” The purpose was to introduce fundamental concepts connected to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN to nonprofit groups and civil society organisations. This required creating sustainable project design and management strategies, aligning their individual missions with these objectives, and emphasising the promotion of collaboration. The ultimate goal was to increase financing accessibility and overall operational effectiveness. We were proud to have passionate participants from various Civil Society Organisations from around Nigeria, despite the difficulties caused by widening inequality and global exclusion. With over 135 excellent students seeking for participation, the road to this training was quite competitive. A total of 127 people were shortlisted as a consequence of our rigorous screening procedure, and 69 of them were chosen to participate in this historic event. The key to any effective training is its facilitation, and the 17th C-PET Workshop was made better by Mr. Bankole Oloruntoba’s knowledge and reliable resources. Mr. Oloruntoba brought his vast expertise in Climate Technology Partnership, entrepreneurial growth, and business innovation to the forefront while serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Climate Innovation Centre (NCIC). His in-depth knowledge of nonprofit management and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) guaranteed that participants got the knowledge they needed to influence good change within their individual organisations. In order to identify their organisations, strengthen their value

To this end, we had earlier issued a statement explaining that while the Union obtained a garnishee Order against the accounts of Anambra State Government in Fidelity Bank, we are unable to honour it as the Judgment Debtors, Anambra State Urban Water Holding Corporation and Anambra State Waste Management Authority,immediately filed a Notice of Appeal as well as a Motion for Stay of Execution of the Order of Court. The Union is aware of these processes as they were also served. The Motion for Stay of Execution is still pending and had not yet been heard and determined when the Union took the law into its hands to attack Fidelity Bank.
