Less Talk, More Action!
Dear Active Citizen, Who said our voices don’t matter? The Lagos State Government, in collaboration with Lekki Concession Company Limited, (LCC), has halted the recommencement of toll collection at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge indefinitely.

#NoJusticeNoToll
Dear Active Citizen, We have started a petition to the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to halt his decision to commence toll collection from Saturday, April 16, 2022, and to make public the White Paper on the Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Police Brutality and the implementation plan for the recommendations. Moving on with business as […]
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.

A Massacre Happened!

While believers in the #EndSARS movement got some closure and admittance from the Lagos State Judicial Panel that the Nigerian military actually killed unarmed citizens on the night of October 20, 2020, one cannot but reflect on the fact that the government consistently denied the massacre and continually gaslighted its […]
