📍I am honoured to speak and amplify young people’s voices at the 17th Africa Day for Food and Nutrition Security (ADFNS), taking place in Nairobi🇰🇪 on 29 - 30 October 2026, convened by the African Union Commission's Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy and Sustainable Environment (AUC-DARBE), African Union Development Agency-NEPAD and the Government of Kenya.
We are the generation that refuses to accept hunger as Africa’s destiny. Armed with innovation, courage and unwavering determination, we believe a nourished Africa is within our reach. Our generation must not inherit hunger, we must lead the movement to end it. #RoyaltyForever

I am very grateful for the fruitful discussions we had @TonyElumeluFDN , @AlikoDangoteFdn & for exploring our new areas of cooperation particularly on #nutrition & @NEPAD_CAADP Agrifood systems & @Y4Nutrition
We held a strategic engagement in Nigeria with representatives of the Dangote Foundation and the Tony Elumelu Foundation to explore potential areas of partnership.
We presented the CAADP Agrifood Systems Framework alongside our nutrition- and youth-focused initiatives. Discussions centred on strengthening youth entrepreneurship, advancing agrifood systems transformation, improving nutrition outcomes and accelerating the implementation of Agenda 2063 through innovative, youth-led solutions.
