Between 19 February and 9 March, IFRA-Nigeria and the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) held an exposition titled "Archives of Popular Struggle" at the CAMAA Museum. Building on selected pieces from the different activist's archives digitised by CDD with the support of the French Embassy Fund project Nigerian Alternatives Heritages, it highlighted the pro-democracy movement in Nigeria. From student activism, women's groups and union mobilisations, it covered all the variety of these vibrant organisations.
On the opening day, Dr Sa'eed Husaini (CDD), curator of the exhibition, walked participants through the different pieces of the collection.
