Yesterday, I attended my first talk of a NED Reagan-Fascell Fellow.  For those who have been following the blog, you will know that I am referring to Abdulrazaq Alkali, who I profiled on Monday.  Alkali is a human rights activist from Kano, Nigeria with an interest in youth development.  He spoke on “Strengthening Youth Participation in Nigeria.”

Per my usual disclaimer, I left before the Q&A.

I won’t go into too many of the specifics
