CELEBRATING NIGERIAN WOMEN, ICONS OF HOPE
On Monday 10th June 2019, the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs through the National Centre for Women Development (NCWD), Abuja will induct 22 women into the Nigerian Women Hall of Fame. These women were selected for their iconic contributions to national development. Apart from Dr. Adadevoh, the Nigerian doctor who helped to curb the spread of Ebola virus in Nigeria, we have amongst others, Professor Adenike Osofisan, an esteemed Member NiRA Board of Trustees. Prof Osofisan is the first lady to obtain the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science in Nigeria from the University of Ibadan. This recognition attests to the good work she had done over the years and the great roles she has played in the society. We congratulate Prof Adenike Osofisan and the other women, who have been recognised.

SAFE ONLINE FORUM
The Safe Online Forum held on Thursday 30th May 2019 at NG_Hub located at 8, Montgomery Road, Sabo, Yaba, Lagos. The forum organized by Re:learn, the Education practice at CcHUB (Co-Creation Hub) in partnership with Junior Achievement Nigeria and Facebook. The forum was aimed at bringing together important education and digital security stakeholders such as Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA) to discuss ways of promoting and ensuring online safety for the youth in Nigeria.
Ms. Nissi Madu, the Programme Manager, Re:learn while delivering the welcome address noted that following the increase in the number of youth online which accounts for about 92.3 million subscribers (51.27% of our total population in Nigeria), the forum was necessary to ensure Nigerian youth acquire digital safety skills. The young people are becoming increasingly digitally-literate. So many of them have coding, programming and other skills, as a result of which there is a great need to empower them with the skills to stay safe online.
