An advocate for feminism, he highlighted the team was made up of predominantly young women who spoke a common language to achieve the goal of TedX Maitama.
TedX Maitama held at Dunes center in Abuja on Saturday 14th July with the theme “WHAT NEXT?”
MI Abaga spoke passionately about the reason, challenges and effects of “Building up” in the society. Citing the bible on the tower of Babel and how a barrier of language was able to ruin the goal to build the tower that was already being accomplished gradually.

He encouraged the crowd to focus on the goal of getting the work done irrespective of the challenges that come because the reward is in the feeling of satisfaction derived.
