“A nation is great not by its size alone. It is the will, the cohesion, the stamina, the discipline of its people and the quality of their leaders which ensure it an honourable place in history.”
Lee Kuan Yew
(First Prime Minister of Singapore, 1959-1990)
Dear {{First name|Active Citizen}},
If you think about it, every major turning point in Nigeria’s story has had one thing in common - citizens and the private sector stepping up when it mattered most.
Remember Concerned Professionals in 1993? That group of brave voices stood firm during the military years. Fast-forward to 2010, when citizens said “Enough is Enough” and sparked a movement for accountability. Then came #EndSARS in 2020, when a new generation used its voice to demand justice. Different times, same pattern - active citizens and visionary entrepreneurs rising to do extraordinary things.
This Friday, we’ll be sitting with a few remarkable voices to reflect on The Fusion: Voices. Vision. Victories. - and what it truly means to build “Project Nigeria” together.
Because civic action doesn’t stand alone - it thrives when the private sector joins hands with citizens to move the needle. After all, good governance is good for business.
If you or your company would like to support civic work that keeps citizens’ voices strong and Nigeria’s democracy alive, visit our Enablers page to join others already funding this movement. And if you’d like to discuss how this aligns with your mission or want to set up a meeting for more details, please send us an email at [email protected].
Have a great weekend!
The EiE Nigeria Team.
