The Data-Driven Innovation for Societal Impact (DISI) Summit 2026 represents precisely the kind of purposeful national dialogue that our country needs \u2014 a platform where research meets policy, where evidence meets action, and where the brightest minds across sectors come together to shape a future worthy of our people. I am pleased to lend my endorsement to this important initiative and commend Innovation Path and Al-Muhibbah Open University for their commitment to driving evidence-based development in Nigeria. I encourage academics, researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, development practitioners and emerging talents to engage fully with this summit and to carry its outcomes forward into
