Public Launch

The #FixPolitics Initiative builds on the concept of the #OfficeOfTheCitizen, in a bid to “upturn the current aberration that defines democracy in Nigeria and Africa as ‘government of the politicians, by the politicians and for the politicians’.”

The #FixPolitics Initiative is poised to strengthen bonds between citizens and the new value-based political class – all governed under a reformed constitutional and electoral order.
