flamboyant service and cultural costumes donned by members to digital media activations.

History was made on October 4 and 5, 2025, on the waters of the Lagos Lagoon as Team Brazil by Claure Group claimed victory at the E1 Lagos GP presented by FirstBank. The landmark event marked Africa’s debut on the global calendar of the E1 Series, the world’s first electric powerboat championship, and positioned Lagos at the forefront of sustainable sporting innovation.

The E1 Lagos GP drew thousands of fans to multiple viewing locations across the city, from the vibrant Official Fan Zone to the Ocean’s Club at Black Diamond Hotel and the Lagos Oriental Hotel Decks, which hosted premium hospitality experiences along the waterfront. The Official Fan Zone quickly became the heartbeat of the event, attracting young Nigerians with immersive brand activations, race simulators, live music, and a festival energy that perfectly matched the excitement on the water.

After an action-packed weekend of competition, Team Brazil by Claure Group finished first, fending off strong performances from Team Blue Rising who placed second, and Team Drogba Global Africa who finished third. Pilots Timmy Hansen and Ieva Millere-Hagin powered Team Brazil to victory, with Timmy Hansen named PIF Pilot of the Race. Racing was briefly delayed by a tropical storm over the Lagos Lagoon, but organisers and teams worked together to ensure the programme resumed safely and on schedule.

The outcome strengthens Team Brazil’s momentum as the season moves toward the Miami finale in November, while Team Brady retains the overall championship lead and a tight contest continues with Team Rafa. The Lagos event also reinforced the E1 Series’ sustainability mission, showcasing zero emission race technology and local legacy initiatives including coastal clean-up and mangrove restoration programmes.

The race weekend attracted local and international media, dignitaries and sporting figures and underlined Lagos’ capacity to host major global sporting events on its waterways. By successfully staging the first E1 race on African soil, Lagos joins Monaco, Dubrovnik and Doha as an E1 host city and affirms its positioning as a centre for innovation, culture and sustainable sport.

Nigerian Widow Empowerment Takes Center Stage At CBA Foundation Conference

By Winifred Bosa
The Chinwe-Bode Akinwande (CBA) Foundation has announced  its upcoming conference themed “Empowering Widows in Nigeria: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty and Vulnerability,” scheduled to be held on 9 October 2025 at Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos.
The pivotal event is aimed at spotlighting the pressing challenges faced by underprivileged widows across the country.
The CBA Foundation is a registered not-for-profit organisation, dedicated to providing a beacon of hope for underprivileged widows and children, protecting and empowering them with the courage to build better lives.
Widows, particularly those from marginalised communities, frequently endure isolation, neglect, and systemic injustice.
 The CBA Foundation Conference will provide a platform for meaningful conversations that illuminate these realities and explore empowerment strategies such as skill acquisition, microfinance, impact investing, and advocacy.
Speaking about the conference, the founder of the CBA Foundation, Chinwe Bode-Akinwande, stated, “Widows are often exploited, largely because they are vulnerable. Our mission is to empower them through strategic partnerships and capacity-building initiatives, amplifying their voices and strengthening their positions in society. With this conference, we are creating a platform for stakeholders to share their experiences on these issues, proffer solutions to them and drive everyone to commit to implementing the solutions.”
The conference will feature a keynote address by Amina Oyagbola, Founder of Women in Successful Careers (WISCAR), and a plenary session moderated by Hansatu Adegbite, Executive Director of Women in Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ).
The event will also include interactive discussions, success stories from impact-driven programmes, and a call to action for attendees to engage in meaningful support for widows across the country.
It will bring together stakeholders from civil society, government, academia, and the private sector to share experiences, successes, and policy recommendations to build more supportive environment for widows.
Since its official launch in 2015, the CBA Foundation has impacted over ten thousand widows with women empowerment/capacity building projects.
It has provided support for over seventeen thousand widows with health intervention support, food distribution, business start-up assistance, clothing, and one-on-one counseling.
The Foundation has also supported over 100 underprivileged children with tuition fees and skill acquisition training.

NLNG Calls For Africa-Centric Strategies To Safeguard Energy Security

By Winifred Bosa

Olakunle Osobu, NLNG’s Deputy Managing Director, delivering a keynote address titled “The Role of African LNG in a Dynamic Export Market” at the Africa Energy Week (AEW) 2025 in South Africa.

NLNG has urged Africans to move beyond the role of raw material suppliers and take their place as key players in the global LNG market.

According to a press release by NLNG , speaking during a keynote address titled “The Role of African LNG in a Dynamic Export Market” at the Africa Energy Week (AEW) 2025 in South Africa, the Company’s Deputy Managing Director, Olakunle Osobu, stated that Africa was not a bystander in this conversation on energy security, affordability, and sustainability.

He also said  Africa was a rising pillar of global supply, and that Nigeria has a duty to lead.
He stressed that with more than 850 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves, about six percent of the total global reserves, Africa has the resources, the position and the ambition to double its share of the global LNG market within the next decade.

Osobu highlighted Nigeria’s role as the continent’s LNG pioneer, pointing to the NLNG Train 7 expansion project, which will grow the company’s capacity from 22 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 30 MTPA, as a demonstration of sustained leadership.
“Our investment in expansion shows that Nigeria is driving LNG growth not only for exports but also for domestic industries and energy access. We must prove that Africa can deliver LNG that is secure, competitive, and sustainable,” he added.

Osobu noted that emerging LNG frontiers across the continent collectively represent more than 45 MTPA of potential new supply. With these additions, Africa’s LNG output could rise from about 70 MTPA today to 120 MTPA by 2035, further consolidating the continent’s standing as a global LNG hub, he added.

While noting Africa’s strategic advantage, shorter shipping routes to both Europe and Asia, Osobu warned that competitiveness, financing, and domestic responsibility remain Africa’s biggest hurdles.

He pointed out that the U.S. and Qatar are rapidly expanding LNG capacities, while financiers increasingly demand low-carbon and decarbonised LNG projects.

He stressed that Africa’s LNG journey must strike a balance by supplying the world reliably, catalyse African industrialisation, and demonstrate sustainability in line with global decarbonisation goals.

Organised by the African Energy Chamber, Africa Energy Week 2025 brought together policymakers, investors, and industry leaders to shape Africa’s energy future.

NESCAFÉ Celebrates Global Coffee / Nigeria’s Independence Day , Samples 65,000 Cups Nationwide

By Winifred Bosa

In commemoration of International Coffee Day and Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, NESCAFÉ executed a large-scale activation, serving 65,000 cups of coffee to consumers nationwide to mark the dual occasion. The initiative spanned 25 cities, including Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Enugu, Jos, Nasarawa, Minna, Kaduna, Bauchi, Owerri, Onitsha, Abeokuta, Ilorin, Calabar, Uyo, Lokoja, Lafia, Osogbo, Ado Ekiti, Maiduguri, Yola, Benin, Asaba, Makurdi, and Sokoto, reaching consumers in universities, business districts, markets, and community hubs.
This activity also follows the relaunch of the original NESCAFÉ 3-in-1 in Nigeria, which now comes with enhanced creaminess, a smooth milky taste, and the brand’s signature aroma, all developed from local consumer insights. The product is now delivered in design-for-recycling packaging, underscoring Nestlé’s commitment to sustainability while meeting evolving consumer preferences.
Speaking on the occasion, Jean-Pierre Duplan, Category Manager, Coffee, Nestlé Nigeria, said: “Earlier this year, we relaunched NESCAFÉ 3-in-1, offering an improved flavor and smoother creaminess in a convenient sachet. This coffee variant is loved by many in Nigeria. The relaunch was carefully shaped by consumer preferences while advancing our sustainability commitments through recyclable packaging. We also recognized that International Coffee Day, a global celebration of the people who make coffee special across the value chain from farm to cup, coincided with the nation’s 65th Independence Anniversary. We decided to delight our consumers by serving 65,000 cups across the country as a way of celebrating both milestones while reinforcing NESCAFÉ’s role in everyday Nigerian coffee moments, helping consumers start their day strong.”
The response from consumers highlighted the impact of the campaign. One of the participants, Tobilola Felix, shared his excitement: “I was thrilled to get my cup of NESCAFÉ this morning. It was such a pleasant surprise, especially on my way to work. As a Nigerian, it feels special to be part of this celebration, knowing that I am experiencing both International Coffee Day and our 65th Independence in such a unique way. It gave me a great start to my day and reminded me of the pride we share as Nigerians.”
Beyond the sampling, NESCAFÉ continues to give back to its consumers, particularly through the MYOWBU (My Own Business) program, which nurtures youth entrepreneurship and fosters economic opportunities across Nigeria. In collaboration with Nestlé professional, the program has empowered over 1,400 young Nigerians to start businesses and achieve financial independence.

Celebrate Chicken Month: Powering Nigeria’s Nutrition


Every year, Chicken Month highlights Chicken as one of the most popular and widely consumed sources of protein in the world. In Nigeria, where protein deficiency remains a pressing concern, Chicken Month is more than a celebration; it is a reminder of chicken consumption’s role in improving the nation’s nutrition and health.

No doubt, protein is a vital nutrient for everyone. It fuels children’s growth and learning, supports adults in maintaining strong muscles and energy, and strengthens immunity across all ages. Yet for many households, meeting daily protein needs can feel like a challenge.

That is why chicken stands out. It is one of the most practical solutions available- affordable, accessible, and adaptable to our everyday meals.

Chicken is more than just delicious. It is a lean source of high-quality protein, offering essential nutrients without the heavy saturated fats often associated with red meats.

This makes it a smart choice for families who want to enjoy tasty meals while also caring for their health. From stews to soups, grilled portions, or even our Nigerian jollof rice, chicken fits seamlessly into Nigerian cuisine, proving that eating well does not have to be complicated or costly.

Beyond nutrition, chicken also represents versatility. Families can make the most of every part; from drumsticks and thighs to gizzards and liver etc, ensuring nothing goes to waste. With thoughtful cooking methods such as boiling, steaming, or grilling, chicken retains its nutrients while meeting the diverse tastes of both children and adults.

Chicken Month is an opportunity for Nigerians to rethink how they approach protein in their diets. By choosing chicken more often, families can take simple but powerful steps toward closing the protein gap and building healthier communities.

This Chicken Month, Right To Protein encourages every household to see chicken as not just a meal option, but as a daily commitment for better nutrition and a stronger future. Adding more protein to the plate is a simple way to open the door to better health and better living.

Abia State, EU, UNICEF , ILO Collaborate To Bolster Social Protection For Vulnerable Families

L-R: Vanessa Phala, Director of the ILO Country Office for Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone and Liaison Office for ECOWAS; Judith Leveillee, Chief of Field Services, UNICEF Nigeria; H.E. Gautier Mignot, the EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS; His Excellency, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, Executive Governor of Abia State; Mrs. Ngozi Blessing Felix, Abia State Honourable Commissioner for Poverty Alleviation and Social Protection; and Mr Kingsley Anosike, Honourable Commissioner for Budget and Planning Abia State, at the launch of the European Union (EU)-funded project, Supporting Sustainable Social Protection Systems in Nigeria (SUSI), by Abia State Government in collaboration with UNICEF, the International Labour Organization (ILO), and other partners in Umuahia.

 

The Government of Abia State has launched the European Union (EU)-funded project, Supporting Sustainable Social Protection Systems in Nigeria (SUSI), in collaboration with UNICEF, the International Labour Organization (ILO), and other partners.
Despite its importance, social protection coverage in Nigeria remains limited. According to the International Labour Organization 2024 World Social Protection report, only 14.8 per cent of Nigerians currently have access to effective social protection.
To close this gap, the project, which is also being implemented in Benue, Oyo, and Sokoto States, is designed to strengthen inclusive, shock-responsive, and sustainable social protection systems.
 It aligns with the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the Eight-Point Agenda, aiming to reduce poverty, protect the most vulnerable, and promote resilient livelihoods.
Speaking at the event, His Excellency Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, Executive Governor of Abia State, reaffirmed the State’s commitment: “I am also glad that the EU, ILO and UNICEF will be partnering with the State Government towards the successful delivery of the SUSI Project. We are encouraged to think of our children and the world we want to bequeath to them. Individually and collectively, we are called to remember that every decision counts, that we do not own anything but are merely custodians who would one day be required to look back, either in regret or fulfilment.”
H.E. Gautier Mignot, the EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, underlined the import of the EU’s support: “Social protection is central to building equitable societies. This partnership demonstrates our continued commitment to improving the lives of Nigerians, particularly in states like Abia, by strengthening systems that can provide support when it is needed most.”
Wafaa Saeed, UNICEF Representative in Nigeria, highlighted the transformative impact of inclusive systems:
“Social protection is not just a safety net, it is a springboard for inclusive development. Through this project, we aim to ensure that every child and family, particularly the most vulnerable, is protected from the shocks that can derail their well-being and opportunities for a better future.”
Vanessa Phala, Director of the ILO Country Office for Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone and Liaison Office for ECOWAS stressed the importance of long-term sustainability: “A well-designed and inclusive social protection system is fundamental to decent work, economic stability, and social cohesion. With this project, we are working together to ensure that social protection becomes a reality for more Nigerians.”
The implementation of the SUSI project will support development of social protection policy, expansion of the social register, capacity building, strengthening the database system and make it interoperable with other related databases, and ensuring that social protection programmes are well budgeted for, at both federal and state levels.
