"No one can fight corruption for Nigerians except Nigerians. Everyone has to be committed from the top to the bottom to fight it."– Ngozi Okonjo Iweala(Nigerian Minister of Finance, 2011 - 2015)

Dear Active Citizen,

We are with you through thick and thin. We have kept to this promise and are ensuring that the demands of citizens are met.

The Lagos State Government owns the Lekki Tollgate and it must allow the Judicial Panel of Inquiry to finish its proceedings before reopening it.

People need to know that it isn't business as usual.

If the government cannot keep its promise to the end, then,

it must allow people to express themselves lawfully.

#EndSARS Protesters Accounts Unfreezed

Finally!💃

A Federal High Court in Abuja has

set aside the order freezing accounts linked with some promoters of the #EndSARS protest

that took place across the country last year and has ordered all affected banks to immediately grant access to the affected accounts.

Recall we had demanded this some months back...who says talk backed up with action doesn't work?

Savvy Rinu and 19 other victims whose bank accounts were frozen hinted at

suing the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for unlawfully freezing their accounts

for over 90 days based on suspected involvement in money laundering and terrorism but failed to investigate the allegation for three months.

We hope they get justice. Congratulations soldiers!

Join our Executive Director,

'Yemi Adamolekun,

Folarin 'Falz' Falana,

Dele Farotimi

and others at the

2nd Goke Omisore Annual Lecture themed: Creating an Inter-generational Dialogue for the Nigeria we want.
