Plan International Nigeria and the University of Abuja formalized a strategic collaboration through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding at the Vice Chancellor’s office reinforcing a shared vision to connect academic excellence with real-world impact.
Rooted in a commitment to advancing gender equality and youth empowerment, this partnership creates meaningful pathways for students to move beyond the classroom and engage directly with development practice. From collaborative research on gender and social development to hands-on learning in communities, the focus is clear: knowledge that drives change.
The MoU also sets the stage for integrating gender-transformative approaches within academic programming, while establishing safe and inclusive spaces that support student wellbeing, leadership, and open dialogue on critical issues.
As highlighted during the engagement, partnerships like this are essential in shaping a generation of young people equipped not only with knowledge, but with the skills, experience, and agency to lead sustainable development efforts in Nigeria and beyond.
Together, we are investing in a future where young people especially girls and young women can learn, lead, make decisions, and thrive.
