TURNING WASTE INTO A PATHWAY FOR WOMEN, YOUTH AND THE PLANET
Forbes Africa
|October - November 2025
"There's nothing more beautiful than seeing other people walk the walk."
What concerns Doyinsola Ogunye more than the mountain of legal briefs on her desk is the mounting evidence of Nigeria's waste crisis-plastic choking the lagoons, piles of refuse in marketplaces, and minimal infrastructure to process and fix it.
Ogunye founded Kids Clean Club to start working with children in 2009 before completing her law studies at the University of Lagos and call to the bar after completing her studies at the Nigerian Law School.

RECLAIMING UBUNTU: CRAFTING A CODE OF INTEGRITY TO COMBAT CORRUPTION IN AFRICA
Leadership in Africa has become synonymous with corruption. As Kenyan journalist John Githongo describes it: “It is a free for all, everything is being eaten, everyone is eating.” Beyond the African stereotypes this scourge perpetuates, corruption drags the continent into deeper underdevelopment instead of strengthening state capacity and encouraging community wellbeing, which are models required to curb poor workmanship. It further erodes the very foundations of democracy, economies, and our shared humanity. It diverts resources away from the poor, undermines trust in institutions, and breeds cynicism in our youth. It is, quite literally, the opposite of the African philosophy of Ubuntu–I am because we are. Where Ubuntu insists on shared responsibility and dignity, corruption proclaims: I am, so you are not.

HEALTH SOVEREIGNTY: DIRECTIONS TO SELF-RELIANCE
Dr Jean Kaseya, Director General of the Africa CDC, points to the urgency behind building systems that can prevent, detect, and respond. For him the G20 platform “was a pivotal opportunity for the entire African continent to present a unified agenda rooted in its own vision for health sovereignty and security.” Kaseya emphasized how between 2022 and 2024, Africa saw a 41% surge in epidemic events. “These figures are not just numbers. They are a call to action,” he states and adds: “We leveraged the G20 platform to advocate for genuine global support. This is not charity. It is a partnership that empowers Africa to build a resilient, self-reliant health system capable of protecting its own populations and contributing to global health security.”
