You’re Driving Change! Here’s How + Why You Can Do More

Dear Enabler,
You are making a real difference. Because of you, Nigerians are reclaiming their voices, fighting for their rights, and demanding accountability. Thank you for being an EiE Enabler!
The Impact of Advocacy
Earlier this year, we contacted you and highlighted a significant concern—citizens need clearer ways to engage. With your support, we are scaling civic education, producing training videos, and working with communities, schools, and religious institutions to equip Nigerians with the knowledge to demand accountability.
Citizens Taking Action: From Helpless to Heard
For years, Okada riders in Emene-Nkwubor, a suburb in Enugu East LGA, were harassed and extorted by police officers falsely claiming to enforce a state ban on Okada operations. But there was a catch—the ban only applied within the state metropolis, and their route wasn’t covered.
One phone call changed everything!
Fed up, the riders called during the #OfficeOfTheCitizen radio program on Solid 100.9FM—and their courage paid off.
The case was swiftly escalated to the Enugu State Commissioner of Police, Sulaiman Balarabe. In response, he visited the Emene Police Station, ordered the immediate release of all impounded bikes, and ended the illegal extortion. He also set up a committee to investigate similar abuses across the state.
This is what your support makes possible!
From fixing roads in Lagos and Kwara to rebuilding schools in Zamfara, you’re not just funding advocacy—you’re empowering action.
#OfficeOfTheCitizen Turns 10!

For a decade, #OfficeOfTheCitizen has helped Nigerians take ownership of governance. To celebrate this milestone, we’re launching a $500,000 (₦750 million) fundraising campaign to expand civic education nationwide.
Your donation will:
Upgrade the #OOTC WhatsApp Chatbot—giving citizens real-time access to representatives, budgets, and projects.
Fund Civic & Political Education Videos—simplifying governance for young Nigerians.
Re-launch #OOTC Radio Programs—bringing civic awareness to more communities.
Be part of the next success story.
Your support isn’t just a donation—it’s a vote of confidence in a better Nigeria. Let’s build together!
