The Gani Fawehinmi Students’ Chambers (GFSC), Faculty of Law, University of Lagos, is set to host its flagship annual conference, Convergence 2026, with a focus on promoting the inclusion of young voices in Nigeria’s nation-building process.
The conference, themed “Inclusion of Young Voices in Nation Building,” is scheduled to hold on Friday at 2:00 p.m. at the Jelili Adebisi Omotola Hall, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos.
According to the organisers, the conference is dedicated to advancing meaningful dialogue between young people and leaders shaping Nigeria’s future, particularly at a time when conversations around governance, innovation, economic transformation and national development increasingly recognise the importance of youth participation.
Named in honour of the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi, SAN, one of Nigeria’s foremost human rights advocates and champions of democracy, the Gani Fawehinmi Students’ Chambers is a student-led organisation committed to nurturing a generation of principled, socially conscious and intellectually equipped leaders.
Over the years, the Chambers has distinguished itself through legal advocacy, public interest initiatives, academic development programmes, policy conversations, community outreach, and strategic partnerships that encourage active citizenship and responsible leadership.
