Dear @EGYPTAIR - 3 suitcases missing after our family's flights MS43 and MS877 to Abuja on 18 Oct. We filed a PIR at the airport and emailed baggage services, but after 24+ hours we've had no update, response or acknowledgement. Please help urgently with tracing and delivery.

Security and development are not parallel tracks—they are the same track.
Encouraged to see a broad range of stakeholders; from government to security agencies and civil society, engaged in this important conversation on state policing reforms at the National Security Roundtable supported by UK-funded @NigeriaSPRiNG.
The 🇬🇧 is proud to be a part of the dialogue and to support 🇳🇬’s efforts to build accountable, effective and citizen-centred security institutions.
A new chapter begins tomorrow. Delighted to be joining @UKinNigeria as Senior Conflict Adviser and Head of Conflict & Peacebuilding.
Looking forward to learning, listening, and working with colleagues and partners across #Nigeria in the months ahead 🇬🇧🇳🇬

Recently @A_ThorpeUK stopped by Kimironko Market to pick up fresh fruits and even bargained with vendors for better prices.
