Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has declared that unity remains the continent’s strongest tool for overcoming insecurity, economic inequality, and climate-related challenges.

This was as Nigeria reaffirmed its commitment to driving Africa’s economic transformation and continental integration.

The minister stated that the administration of President Bola Tinubu would continue to pursue policies under the Renewed Hope Agenda aimed at strengthening sustainable development and deepening regional cooperation across Africa.

Odumegwu-Ojukwu spoke on Monday night in Abuja during the 2026 Africa Day celebration organised by the Forum of African Missions to commemorate the establishment of the Organisation of African Unity in 1963, now known as the African Union.

The event was held under the theme, “Assuring Sustainable Water Availability and Safe Sanitation System to Achieve the Goals of Agenda 2063.”
