Afenifere, with technical support from the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) Commission, will on October 9–10, 2025, convene a landmark two-day Regional Stakeholders’ Dialogue in Akure, Ondo State.

Themed “Strengthening Democracy Through Dialogue: Assessing Progress, Charting the Future,” the event will bring together over 800 stakeholders from across the Southwest region for robust citizen–government engagement.
