How does MOSOP's current strategy differ from previous approaches, and what are the underlying causes of the Ogoni struggle?

MOSOP's demands are rooted in decades of environmental degradation and underdevelopment in Ogoniland due to oil extraction. The lack of corporate social responsibility from the oil industry has fueled the Ogoni struggle, which now seeks a direct share in resource profits and remediation of environmental damage.

How did Kaduna State's approach to addressing GBV change from previous years, and what factors contributed to the 30% increase in reporting?

The increase in GBV reporting in Kaduna State, despite the high national ranking, indicates improved victim confidence and government responsiveness. The streamlined judicial process, resulting in advisory opinions within three days, facilitated the 11 convictions, many resulting in life imprisonment or the death penalty. This contrasts with previous years where over 300 forced marriage cases were reported, compared to only eight in 2024.
