On arrival at the capital city of Nigeria (Abuja) on Tuesday, it was a hectic one as I made a 12hrs commute to the venue of the conference. On getting to Abuja I felt relief of the stress finally getting to my destination. Welcome to the FCT (I said to my self) as I was so glad to have arrived safely. Fast forward to the conference, 11th October, the long expected day finally came. As an active member of the Local organizing Committee I have been involved in the planning of the conference playing different roles such as fund raising and partnership with sponsors. As a volunteer member of HOT OpenSummit 2023/2024, I was given the role to produce SWAG kits to participants. Though this role came with a short notice, I was able to deliver with the aid of my team lead Dana and Giovanna. Many thanks to Chinenye who made things easier for me. And more thanks to HOT Open Summit for the support. There were just too many exciting moments in the conference that I can’t mention all. However, I can’t forget the session I took in celebrating the International Day of the Girl Child. We had a panel of discussion which I anchored to talk about Female Genital Mutilation as a dangerous practice against the girl child which needs to be eliminated. My panelists were able to buttress on the cultural perspective of FGM and how we can use digital technology to solve the problem in our generation. Mrs Mary pointed out that mapping vulnerable communities for humanitarian and social response is one of many ways to solving the problem of FGM in Nigeria. We were able to interview a victim during the discussion and she hinted that FGM is evil and need to be totally eliminated. As a girl child advocate and community engagement organization, we went further to schools within Abuja to talk to girls on the theme of the International Day of the Girl Child (Digital generation, our generation). After the brief talk with them, we were able to gift the girls sanitary pads to celebrate the day with them. There were host of other presentations that was so insightful like that of Ian Tobia and Eromosele John’s presentations. It was a great time and experience for me and I had meet and greet sessions with friends and networked with other organizations. Miya Academy which was one of the supporters of the conference was one of our Sponsors too. Thanks to Dr. Victor Sunday Coordinator of Unique Mappers for organizing and chairing the conference. Thanks to my wonderful mentor Preet Kukreja and her team for the support they rendered towards the procurement of the sanitary pads. Thanks to my best friend Ian Tobia, and to Eromosele John, Priscilla Zekeni, Chinenye Ufondu for their support and friendship. Thanks to all the Local Organizing Committee for the cooperation and team work. Thanks to Unique Mappers Network Nigeria for the platform and big thanks to all our sponsors @HOT OpenSummit @Orodata @Miya Academy and a host of others.
