Legacy Lecture & Symposium

Jaye Gaskia @ 60

Active Citizenship, Social Movements and the Future of Democracy in Nigeria

The birthday is the occasion. The legacy is the purpose.

On 20 August 2026, colleagues from labour, civil society, academia, the media, family and friends gathered in Abuja, not for a party, but for a working day on what Nigerian democracy needs next.

A keynote lecture, two panels, the launch of a 525-page reader, and the unveiling of a leadership academy for young Nigerians. Everything said that day is recorded in the documents below.
