  • In the journey towards B Corp certification, we find ourselves caught in a web of hopes and dreams, yet here I stand, feeling the weight of disappointment and loneliness.

    The path we carved out was once filled with excitement and anticipation. Engaging with our community, structuring initiatives that we believed would change the world, and striving for that elusive certification felt like a noble quest. But now, as we reflect on our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, I am struck by an unsettling silence. Where once there was a chorus of voices cheering us on, I hear only echoes of doubt and uncertainty.

    As we prepare for our recertification in 2025, I can't help but feel the shadows creeping in. The bright vision we once held has dimmed, overshadowed by the challenges that seem insurmountable. Each step forward feels like a step back, and the weight of expectations bears down on my heart. The journey has revealed not only our strengths but also our vulnerabilities—each setback a reminder of the fragility of our aspirations.

    The community we once felt so connected to now feels distant. I remember the days filled with laughter and collaboration, where every shared idea felt like a spark igniting hope. Now, that connection feels like a fading memory, and I am left wondering if we will ever recapture that sense of belonging. It’s as if the light has gone out, leaving us to wander through the dark, searching for a way back to unity and purpose.

    The B Corp certification was supposed to be a beacon guiding us towards a greater good, but instead, it has become a mirror reflecting our struggles, our failures, and our loneliness. This journey, which should have brought us together, has often left me feeling isolated in my resolve. I long for the days when our commitment was met with enthusiasm, not skepticism.

    Yet, amidst the sorrow, I hold onto a flicker of hope. Perhaps this moment of reflection is necessary—a chance to regroup, to reignite our passion and to find strength in vulnerability. If we can face these challenges together, perhaps we can emerge stronger and more united than before.

    As we navigate this complex landscape, I remind myself that it’s okay to feel lost. It’s okay to grieve the connection we once had. But in this solitude, I also find resilience. I will not give up on our mission to become a certified B Corp, not just for ourselves but for the community we aim to uplift.

    Here’s to the journey ahead, to finding our way back to each other, and to embracing the process, no matter how painful it may be.

    FG Hosts Workshop on Gender Mainstreaming and GBV Success Stories Dissemination under TRIMING Project.

    The Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation, in collaboration with the World Bank and other critical stakeholders, convened a Gender Mainstreaming and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Success Stories Dissemination Workshop under the Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) Project, with the theme: “From Tradition to Transformation, Led by Women”, today in Kano.

    The Honourable Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Engr. Prof. Joseph Terlumun Utsev, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Richard Pheelangwah, in his keynote address emphasized that the TRIMING Project was designed to enhance irrigation systems and promote integrated water resource management, with gender and social safeguards as core components.

    According to Prof. Utsev, the project has transformed women, youth, and vulnerable groups from being marginalized to becoming vital contributors in agriculture and water governance.

    He highlighted the achievements of the project, including the development of GBV Action Plans across all schemes for risk mitigation and survivor support, women’s leadership in Water Users Associations (WUAs), enhancing inclusive decision-making, and the economic empowerment of women through active roles in irrigation management.

    Prof. Utsev added that the extensive capacity-building on gender sensitivity and GBV prevention, the strengthening of local capacitie, including youth champions and gender desk officers, cultural norm shifts through media, dialogues, and storytelling in local languages, as well as alignment with global best practices and World Bank environmental and social standards, are additional achievements of the project.

    The Minister thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the World Bank, and the Project Monitoring Unit for their support in driving TRIMING’s success. He urged the replication of its gender and GBV initiatives in other projects and emphasized that achieving a gender-equitable, GBV-free society requires ongoing commitment and collaboration.

    Engr. Hauwa Sadique Mohammed, Deputy Director Irrigation, delivering the welcome address on behalf of the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Richard Pheelangwah, emphasized the workshop as a key milestone in advancing inclusivity, equity, and safety, particularly for women, girls, and vulnerable groups in the TRIMING Project. The Permanent Secretary highlighted that from inception, the project prioritized gender equality, GBV prevention, and social inclusion, with gender mainstreaming embedded across all stages to ensure equal opportunities and safe spaces.

    Delivering a comprehensive overview of the project, the Project Coordinator, Engr. Ipinlaye Olaiya, emphasized the central role of gender mainstreaming across all components of the TRIMING Project, noting that the deliberate integration of gender perspectives was not only strategic but essential to the long-term sustainability and impact of the interventions.

    Goodwill messages were delivered by the Managing Director of Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Development Authority, Engr. Rabiu Suleiman Yusuf, representative of the academia,Prof. Restituta Igube from the University of Abuja, and Commissioners from the Gombe State Ministry of Women Affairs, Asmau Mohammed Iganus as well as the representative of Kano State Ministry of Women Affairs, Children, and the Disabled.

  • The deal, signed on June 16, 2025, during the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo (CAETE) in Changsha, China, includes a large-scale titanium extraction project in Salima and the creation of a state-of-the-art mineral processing facility in the country.

    Following the signing, the country’s Minister of Mining, Dr. Ken Zikhale Ng’oma, hailed the deal as a strategic breakthrough, emphasizing its alignment with President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera’s long-term vision of transforming mining into a key driver of the national economy.

    “This MoU signals a new era; anchored on sustainability, innovation, and inclusive growth. It aligns squarely with President Chakwera’s agenda to turn mining into a driver of national development,” Ng’oma said.

    Notably, Hunan Sunwalk CEO and Founder Hou Xingwang described the agreement as a strategic milestone for both nations, stating that it will, “facilitate the flow of capital, technology, and skilled human resources between China and Malawi”

    He also expressed interest in exploring investments in agriculture and other sectors to contribute to Malawi’s broader economic development.

    Ng’oma emphasized that the partnership goes beyond raw material extraction, delivering technological transfer, strict environmental compliance, and human resource development.

    He highlighted Hunan Sunwalk’s successful performance in Zimbabwe as a testament to the company’s capabilities.

    Reassuring the public, the Minister said, “This is the first time Malawi has entered into such a comprehensive MoU with a multinational mining corporation.”

    “We ensured that due diligence was conducted thoroughly, and we are confident that the interests of Malawians are well protected.” He added.

    Officials from both parties described the agreement as a “win-win” venture, with potential to create thousands of new jobs, infrastructure development, and enhance economic growth.

    The Chinese company has reportedly commenced exploration and feasibility studies in the Salima District.
