#OneVoiceNigeria: Change in Date
On February 6, 2017, active citizens took to the streets of Abuja, Ibadan, Uyo, Enugu, Benin & London to join the #OneVoiceNigeria protest organized by EiE.
A year later, February 16, 2018, EiE, 2Baba Foundation, Reclaim Naija, Youth Intiative for Advocacy Growth & Advancement (YIAGA), Nigeria First and others will hit the streets again, albeit with a different strategy. It’s time to embark on a mass voters’ mobilization campaign.
Join us! Let’s do this together!
