37th Annual General Meeting

37th Annual General Meeting – July 8, 2026

The Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) held its 37th Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Lekki Conservation Centre, bringing together members, partners, government representatives, development agencies, corporate organisations, and conservation stakeholders to review the Foundation’s achievements and set the course for the future. The meeting highlighted NCF’s significant impact in 2025, including the empowerment of 19,900 beneficiaries, the planting of 265,561 indigenous trees, the restoration of 300 hectares of degraded landscapes, engagement with 119 communities, and environmental education reaching 515 schools and over 15,000 students. The AGM also reaffirmed the Foundation’s commitment to advancing biodiversity conservation, climate action, pollution management, and community-driven environmental stewardship through strategic partnerships and evidence-based interventions.

A defining milestone of the AGM was the appointment of Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, GCON, as President of NCF’s Board of Trustees, succeeding Chief Philip Asiodu, CFR, CON, whose more than 25 years of exemplary leadership were celebrated during the meeting. The Foundation also unveiled its 2026–2030 Strategic Direction, built around four priority areas—Climate Change, Biodiversity Conservation, Pollution Management, and Institutional Strengthening—to guide the next phase of its conservation journey. Together, the leadership transition and new strategic framework reaffirm NCF’s resolve to strengthen partnerships, scale conservation impact, and protect Nigeria’s natural heritage for generations to come.
