Mention of the Niger Delta of Nigeria and good (okay, goodish) news in the same sentence is not a song that’s often heard.
Our guest, Dr Dara Akala who runs an NGO in the heart of the Niger Delta, has a soothing narrative, one well worth sharing.
Dr Akala, a development economist and Executive Director of the corporate social enterprise PIND, has a plan, a plan that seems to be working and, one, one dares to hope, making a real difference in the lives of people of the Niger Delta.
Here are a few things to expect:
- Gaining community trust
- Ogoniland today
- Big Oil divestment and the future of funding
- The elephant in the room - where is the government in all this?
- Past imperfect, present continuous, future conditional?
- Dr Akala tells a joke…
