Dr. Eugene Itua, Executive Director of the African Green and Sustainability Institute (AGESI), and Ms. Elsie Attafuah, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative for Nigeria, have recently met in Abuja to strengthen their commitment to advancing sustainable development across the nation.
The visit follows the successful launch of AGESI on the same day, an event where Ms. Attafuah’s participation was a significant and powerful voice.
Dr. Itua formally extended his gratitude for the UNDP’s invaluable support and discussed the path forward for a robust partnership.
The strategic discussion focused on aligning AGESI’s core mission of “Empowering Leaders for a Sustainable Africa” with the UNDP’s extensive development work in Nigeria.
Both leaders explored concrete initiatives for collaboration on critical sustainability issues, including green growth, climate action, and policy innovation. The meeting concluded with a shared vision to leverage their combined strengths to create a lasting and positive impact for the people of Nigeria.
AGESI, also known as the African Sustainability Institute (ASI), is a pioneering institution dedicated to empowering leaders for a sustainable Africa. Through research, training, and policy advocacy, AGESI aims to equip leaders with the skills to address the continent’s most pressing environmental and sustainability challenges.
