I started the first set of TEDx events in Abuja. The city has untapped energy and the TEDx local events brought people to the stage to discuss issues that affect everyone. Through these conversations, the creatives have found their voices and they have become a movement with many events springing up in Northern Nigeria. I feel proud we created new footprints for thought leaders and young creatives.
