The Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA Resource Centre) is thrilled to announce the January 2025 edition of its Monthly Advocacy Series (MAS), a highly impactful virtual platform dedicated to addressing Nigeria’s most pressing national issues. This monthly series, tagged “Chatting with HEDA,” will feature the esteemed human rights activist and founder of Sahara Reporters, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, as the guest speaker.
Scheduled for Wednesday, January 15, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM (Nigeria time) on X (formerly Twitter) Space, the session will delve into the theme: “2024 Review of Human Rights Abuse in Nigeria.” This promises to be an engaging and illuminating discussion that will shed light on the ongoing challenges of human rights violations, political clampdowns, and the misuse of the Cybercrime Act by law enforcement agencies.
This interactive program provides a unique opportunity for Mr. Sowore to share his invaluable perspectives on these critical issues, drawing from his personal experiences with political victimization and his unwavering commitment to advancing human rights and democracy. Participants can look forward to a rich discussion moderated by HEDA, featuring a 30-minute conversation, a 20-minute Q&A session, and 10 minutes dedicated to closing remarks and acknowledgments.
HEDA Resource Centre remains steadfast in its mission to promote good governance, transparency, human rights, and sustainable development in Nigeria. The Monthly Advocacy Series is a cornerstone of this mission, bringing together thought leaders, activists, and the public to address issues vital to national development.
We invite members of the public, civil society organizations, policymakers, and the media to join this critical conversation via HEDA’s X Page @Hedagenda on Wednesday. January 15, 2025, at 4pm.
