The summit, themed “Stronger Together: Forging Safer, Connected, Thriving Cities in a Changing World,” brings together mayors, top senior government officials, civil society organisations, and global partners to advance city-led solutions to counter hate, extremism, online harms, and social polarisation, while strengthening community safety, inclusion, and resilience.
The event serves as a platform for sharing experiences, forging strategic partnerships, and gaining insights that will inform Zamfara State’s ongoing security, social cohesion, and development initiatives, especially the Urban Renewal Programme.
