The House of Representatives Committee on Cooperation and Integration in Africa, led by the chairman and member representing Demsa/Numan/Lamurde Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Kwamoti La'ori, made a familiarization visit to the headquarters of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) in Abuja.
The visit provided committee members the opportunity to engage with and appreciate the activities of AUDA-NEPAD, which primarily focuses on poverty eradication and food security, promoting sustainable growth and development, integrating Africa into the world economy, and accelerating the empowerment of women, among other initiatives.
In her welcome speech, the National Coordinator and CEO of AUDA-NEPAD, HE Princess Gloria Akobundu (fsi), thanked the committee for their visit. She highlighted challenges such as insecurity, political instability, and threats of disunity in the region but assured the committee of her readiness to overcome these obstacles.
In response, Rep. Kwamoti appreciated the agency's efforts towards regional economic integration and development despite the challenges. He assured the Agency of all necessary parliamentary support to succeed in its mission.
The visit was an opportunity for members to interface, share knowledge and experiences, and become familiar with the activities of AUDA-NEPAD as a regional organization.
Highlights of the visit included a tour of the facilities and group photographs.
