Celebrating our #OnePerson Honorees

On 14th September 2024, EiE Nigeria proudly celebrated 11 exceptional individuals through its #OnePerson initiative for their transformative efforts across various sectors in Nigeria.

One Person Can and Does
Make A Difference!

Despite Nigeria’s challenges, many citizens are dedicated to fostering positive change. At EiE Nigeria, we believe that every individual has the power to shape governance outcomes. In 2020, as part of our 10th anniversary celebration, we launched the #OnePerson campaign to highlight the impact one person can have in their community. From the launch of our book – Footprints: Past.Present.Future, honouring emerging change agents to the monthly spotlight, this initiative recognizes those making significant contributions in Nigerian communities, inspiring civic responsibility and proactive participation.

Join us in spotlighting unheard positive stories and demonstrating that one person can make a difference!
