**Unveiling the Unseen: "HerStory of Nigeria" Project Celebrates Women's History in Lagos** As Nigeria joins the rest of the world to mark International Women's Day 2026, the British Deputy High Commission and ASIRI Magazine have collaborated on a groundbreaking project that aims to rewrite the country's socio-political history from a female perspective. The "HerStory of Nigeria: Women, Power and Protest in Lagos (1910-1950)" project is an ambitious initiative that seeks to challenge historical erasure and promote gender visibility in Nigeria's narrative. The project, set to be unveiled on March 9 in Lagos, will highlight the contributions of women in shaping Nigeria's past, particularly during the period of British colonial rule. This effort is part of a broader Commonwealth narrative that emphasizes resistance, agency, and social change. By doing so, ASIRI Magazine is fulfilling its commitment to preserving and promoting Nigeria's history, culture, and heritage, with a deliberate focus on restoring women to the centre of the country's historical narrative. The project will engage secondary school students through a series of interactive events, including guided storytelling, illustrated learning materials, and participatory discussions. These events will take place at Queen's College, Lagos, on March 13, marking a significant step towards making Nigeria's past more accessible to present and future generations. In addition to the school engagements, the project will also launch a 15-day digital advocacy campaign across ASIRI's platforms. The campaign will amplify the stories shared in schools through illustrated history posts, educational threads, short features, and archival highlights aimed at reaching a wider audience. According to Oludamola Adebowale, Project Director and Founder of ASIRI Magazine, the "HerStory of Nigeria" project is not only an International Women's Day initiative but also a tool for advocacy and social change. "This project challenges historical erasure, promotes gender visibility, and inspires confidence, civic consciousness, and leadership among young girls," he said. With the support of partners such as Zapphaire Events, HIS Nigeria, BellaNaija, and Ms. Lanre Shasore, the "HerStory of Nigeria" project is poised to leave a lasting impact on Nigeria's understanding of its past and its future. As Adebowale aptly puts it, history is a living resource for identity, empowerment, and national memory, and this project is a significant step towards harnessing that power.
