FCT Minister Of State, Others To Headline UN 80th Fire Festival

Minister of State in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Dr. Mahmoud Mariya, along with Ojuego Onyelukachukwu and Rohan Gurram, will headline the American Exchange: Fire Festival, a major side event to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

Presented by ConcordeApp and One Fuego, The Fire Festival is a landmark event themed around the UN’s global message: “Better Together: 80 Years and More for Peace, Development, and Human Rights.” It aims to serve as a pivotal convergence point for access to deal flow, capital, and impact investment, all driven by culture and community.

President-elect of UNGA 80, Annalena Baerbock, emphasised the importance of global cooperation:

She said the event would bring together UN member states, staff, civil society organisations and philanthropic partners to inspire collective action toward a better, more inclusive future.

The festival will be livestreamed globally on September 27 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM EST, in alignment with the Global Citizen Festival.
