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. This decision was communicated in a statement signed by the Managing Director of LCC, Yomi Omomuwasan. Active citizens! This is a victory […]

#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. Recall that on Tuesday, March 8th, the House […]

CVR At Your Doorstep!

CVR will resume on April 10, 2022, and will be devolved to the wards towards […]

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. We asked if Mr President was dead or alive in Saudi Arabia, wondered why an oil producing nation had fuel queues and demanded that the killings […]

Congratulations Nigerians!

Dear Active Citizen, Who said our voices don’t count? The President has finally signed the Electoral Amendment Bill, 2022, into law yesterday, Friday, February 25th. This is a win for all Nigerians, as we believe integrity will be restored to our electoral system. But after the celebration comes hard work and all hands must be on deck. If you have […]

We Are All We Have!!

Dear Friend! As we mark the global 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, which runs between the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (November 25th) and International Human Rights Day (December 10th), we must not forget that Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) is a silent pandemic in Nigeria. Stigmatisation and Victim-blaming have stifled generations of girls and women. Enough is enough!

A Massacre Happened!

The events of the last few days have been bitter-sweet. 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 […]
