Few hours to end 2022, so I told my self that it’s a must to pen my experiences in the state of the map Nigeria 2022. It was a wonderful experience as a local Organizing committee member to host the first ever state of the map conference in Nigeria. It seem like an impossibility with lot’s of challenges that faced us, yet we pulled through together with our capacity coordinator Sir Victor Sunday spear heading us. The arrival of our participants and guests hyped my expectations of the conference that I have to put more energy to make it a reality. Indeed it was a reality and amazing one for that matter. My expectations weren’t unmet. I made new and wonderful friends like Petro from Tanzania, Mohammed Ali, Mamman from Abuja, Letwin from Zimbabwe and our wonderful women wing lead Chisom whom I’ve been eager to meet all along. It was like a reunion for unique mappers in general. To all the LOCs Light, Promise, Victor, Chinenye, Joana, you were all amazing and made a rewarding team. Thanks to all our sponsors and contributors to a successful inaugural state of the map 2022. Thanks everybody and Happy New year in minutes.
