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!
Meet Our #OnePerson Honoree
for October 2025!
Silas Adekunle is a Nigerian-British robotics engineer who achieved global acclaim by creating the world’s first intelligent gaming robot, MekaMon, securing a coveted distribution deal with Apple. Despite the company’s eventual closure, Adekunle’s story is a testament to extraordinary resilience. Now, he’s leveraging his deep knowledge of frontier technology to build Awarri, a new company committed to nurturing homegrown AI and robotics talent across Africa.
This is the story of a pioneer who turned a setback into a powerful pivot for progress.
