One Last Chance!
Dear Active Citizen, Yesterday, we hosted our 12th year anniversary symposium titled ‘On Debates & Democracy’ at the Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja. The hybrid event featured a media panel and a debate panel that had in attendance the ‘most debated ‘ Nigerian politician of our time, Babatunde Raji Fashola.
You Heard It Here First!
Drum roll!!!!!! If there is one thing that this government has done well, here it is. We are excited to share with you today that the federal government has finally agreed to return the fuel pump price to 85 naira per litre. As much as this story is a joke, we wish that it is […]

Watch This Space!
On Tuesday, March 22nd, the brave women who had been occupying the National Assembly (NASS) gates gained access to the NASS premises, where they were met by the leadership of the House of Representatives who requested 7 legislative days to review all 5 bills and vote again.

Rant But Act!

12 Years of Inspiring Action
Today, March 16th makes it 12 years since the historic #EnoughIsEnough protests of 2010 to the National Assembly in Abuja and to the then Governor Babatunde Fashola’s office in Lagos on April 13th.

The disregard for citizens showed up again last week when the male-dominated National Assembly, Nigeria’s Parliament, voted on constitutional amendments. They voted as follows: 1. Denied Nigerians in the diaspora the right to vote. This is despite […]
