“For me, the greatest miracle of chess is in the inate ability of a pawn (the least valuable piece) to become a queen (The most powerful piece).” - Tunde Onakoya You have consistently exemplified one of life’s biggest ironies: that attaining a life of significance comes from serving the least significant among us. Congratulations Tunde on this monumental feat, and on the continuing phenomenal achievements of Chess in Slums Africa @chessinslums .

I congratulate Tunde Onakoya @Tunde_OD on setting a new world chess record and sounding the gong of Nigeria's resilience, self-belief, and ingenuity at the square of global acclaim. I celebrate this Nigerian Chess Champion and founder of Chess in Slums Africa for his rare feat, but especially for the reason driving this compelling demonstration of character, which is raising funds for African children to learn and find opportunity through chess. Tunde has shown a streak customary among Nigeria's youth population, the audacity to make good change happen; to baffle impossibility, and propel innovations and solutions to the nation’s challenges, even from corners of disadvantage. Nigeria's youths have demonstrated in all fields, including Afrobeats, Nollywood, the pulsating skit-making enterprise, education, science, and technology, that great exploits can truly come from small quarters. I commend the inclination of Nigerians - across artificial partitions - for unity, once again exemplified through their undiluted support for this epoch-making endeavour. I assure all citizens that my administration remains strongly committed to creating and expanding opportunities for the youth to explore and exercise their abilities and become the symbols of greatness our nation represents into the future.

Listening to @DrTedros at our @sanwatforall LAC Finance Minister's Meeting. Water, "Sanitation and Hygiene are *the* most cost effective and impactful health interventions". Yes! Investing in WASH *is* investing in health.

Water for peace - a story left untold! What peace? Peace for who? What do we expect from peace? Water can create peace or spark conflict. #WorldWaterDay2024 #WaterSecurity #SustainableHub #WaterForPeace @GCRFWaterHub @clwnewc @UniofNewcastle @OPSWASH1 @SDGaction

2024 World Water Day Press conference of the Presidential community engagement across the six regions In partnership with @APWEN_NG and @OPSWASH1 Today, as we celebrate World Water Day, we are reminded of the criticality of water and sanitation in the pursuit of sustainable development. It is a day that serves as a stark reminder of the challenges we face in ensuring that everyone, everywhere, has access to safe, clean, and affordable water. We gather here today to celebrate a partnership that seeks to address this very issue. The collaboration between the SSAP CE, OPSWASH, and the Association of Professional Women Engineers is a testament to the power of collective action. It highlights our commitment to forging partnerships that bring together public and private sectors, as well as the involvement of professional bodies, to tackle complex societal challenges such as water and sanitation. Water is a basic necessity of life. It is crucial for good health, food security, and economic development. Yet, millions of people around the world, including here in our own communities, still lack access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation facilities. This situation is further exacerbated by the effects of climate change, population growth, rapid urbanization, and other socioeconomic factors. In light of these realities, it becomes evident that we cannot rely on traditional approaches alone. We need innovative solutions and concerted efforts to bridge the gap and ensure that no one is left behind. This partnership, through its collaborative nature, aims to leverage the expertise, resources, and networks of each partner to maximize our impact. The SSAP CE, OPSWASH, and the Association of Professional Women Engineers will work tirelessly to promote sustainable water management, create awareness on water-related issues, and advocate for policies and programs that prioritize water and sanitation. Our combined efforts will not only improve access to water and sanitation facilities but also empower communities, particularly women and girls, to actively participate in decision-making processes regarding water management. Today's event signifies the beginning of a journey - a journey towards a future marked by water security, hygiene, and dignity for all. It is a call to action, urging us all to unite our efforts and work together to tackle the water crisis head-on. By joining forces, we can strengthen our impact, share knowledge, and pool resources to bring about tangible change. Let today's launch serve as a catalyst for greater collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity in our pursuit of sustainable water and sanitation solutions. Together, we can ensure that clean water flows freely, that sanitation becomes a fundamental right, and that no one is left behind. let us all commit to a future where access to water and sanitation is a reality for every individual, everywhere. @moremiojudu @PBATMediaCentre @NGRPresident @otegaogra @aonanuga1956 @woye1 @kc_journalist @Asovillanews_

Many young people wonder where they can start to make a difference in the fight to end the neglect of, and ultimately, NTDs themselves. We recommend starting small, wherever you are, and with whatever resources you have available to you. Graphic: youthcombatingntds.org/ycntd…
