Tajudeen’s Death a great Loss to PADEAP and Africa at Large.

The untimely death of Tajudeen Abdul-Raheem, at the age of 48, has come as a deep shock to a large number of Africans and people committed to the future of Africa. He was both an intellectual and an activist who worked tirelessly for the causes he supported, of which the greatest by far was the unity of the African continent. His life’s slogan was “don’t agonise, organise”. While it is cruelly tragic that he should have died in a car crash on the way to the airport in Nairobi, it is fitting that he should have been on a mission to Rwanda as part of his continuing pan-African efforts, and even more emblematic that it should have been on 25 May, which is marked internationally as Africa day.

The late was Chairperson of the Centre for Democracy and Development, based in Abuja and Lagos; and of the Pan-African Development Education and Advocacy Programme based in the UK, Uganda and Nigeria.

Sexual health refers to the ability of individual to have mutually beneficial and satisfying and consented sexual relationship.

These are abilities that can be acquired and utilized by individuals to overcome challenges in their own lives as well as those they face in the communities they live

Meeting Evaluation

As most of the participants were not very informed on HIV/AIDS and reproductive health issues it was agreed that PADEAP should hold a series of sensitization seminars with the Somali community in the near future

The number of participants were 30.
