How Free and Secure are You?
Dear Active Citizen, This has been another week of bad news. We must continue to hold our duty bearers accountable. The recent rape and murder of Hinny Umoren in Akwa-Ibom State is devastating. We are thankful for the citizens who have volunteered to help job seekers do background checks on companies. Anyone can be a victim of sexual […]
Speak Up!
Dear Active Citizen, Monday, April 26th, was a day of horror in Nigeria as bloodshed and kidnapping ravaged different parts of our country.

You Snooze, You Lose!
Dear Active Citizen, We didn’t come this far to give up!

Citizens are not interested in politics because they have been disappointed too many […]
