I have been doing a lot of programme planning and implementation. I also got to do quite a lot of documentation into my organization's software on a program to increase women's political engagement and participation in national development. It appeared pretty straightforward but lets just say brevity is what matters. Not sure how it is done with other organizations but the template can be quite strict and though it guides you on how to structure your information, it also limits what you can write. The initiative needs to be approved by the headquarters and so I wanted to provide them with enough information about the project. Well lets just say it was a long process trying to decide what to cut out and hoping that it would still be approved. My supervisor did inform me a few days later that my summary was very nicely done and the key points were well articulated. Plus, the project was approved! Woo-hoo :)
My work here in Abuja is winding down :( The countdown has officially begun and trying to engage myself in areas I still want to learn before I depart.
On the family side, I have been out and about in Abuja, well, actually Nigeria, visiting friends and family. I also visited my parents in Lagos! Naturally, this was a major highlight of my short trip to Lasgidi! You know, once you have lived in a place for so long and are suddenly removed at least to the point of similar comparison, you realize things you overlooked. Lagos is crazy! I thought Abuja was a bit slow etc but the fact is that Lagos is something else. I was so used to thats-just-the-way Lagos is... Ok, I am not saying that I am permanently relocating from Lagos to Abuja but one cannot neglect the relative calmness in Abuja.
And of course, I have also had loads of Suya! I do find that in Abuja I have sort of limited myself to one Suya spot because so far them seem to have the best that I have tasted. Naturally many will argue that other places in Abuja are better but I am yet to be disappointed with my just-around-corner-Suya-spot.
