Titled, Footprints: Past. Present. Future,  Christopher Kolade writes the foreword and the contributors are as diverse as Aisha Yesufu and Tunde Bakare to 2Baba and Seun Onigbinde.

In addition to the book presentation, the event will also feature EiE’s pre-election fundraising auction across art, fashion and photography, with pieces donated by leaders in their respective sectors like Bruce Onabrakpeya, Deola Sagoe and Kelechi Amadi-Obi.

This book is positioned as a collector’s item because of its unique style of presenting timely information about citizens’ rights & responsibilities in the context of a growing democracy. The time is also strategic as Nigerians take steps towards ensuring all registered voters can select credible candidates; vote without violence and protect their votes on election day, and in the four years that follow by holding public servants accountable.

EiE shared this in a press statement issued on Thursday, December 1, 2022 as it begins a 12 day countdown to the event. Speaking about the event, the Executive Director of EiE, ‘Yemi Adamolekun said, “I am very excited that this book, which is a labour of love over 3 years, is finally here! I am also delighted that our generous donors have once again chosen to support our work with their participation in our pre-election auction.”

The event will be held on Monday, December 12, 2022 at the Muson Centre in Lagos, Nigeria.

More Information on the event can be found on the website.

Under the aegis of the group’s flagship initiative #RSVP – Register | Select | Vote-not-fight | Protect, the multilayered campaign kicked off on February 2, 2022, with a series of media engagements, including a Twitter Spaces conversation.

Themed, #MakeNaijaWork, the 13-month campaign is a clarion call to Nigerians to seize the golden opportunity to decide and elect credible leaders by registering to vote and selecting candidates based on defined criteria – courage, compassion, competence, capacity & character.

Speaking on the core objective of the campaign, the organisation’s Executive Director, Yemi Adamolekun stated: “We spend so much time asking why we are yet to make socio-political  progress  but the answer is clear: We are yet to strategically occupy our Office of the Citizen. We are yet to understand that this is the highest office in Nigeria because elected and appointed public servants serve us. They are called public servants for a reason – to serve the public! Elections provide an opportunity to determine our servants!”

Launched in the month of love, #MakeNaijaWork asks that we show love to our country by engaging in the process to make her work for the benefit of all. If we love Nigeria, we should do all that we can to make her work, which includes registering to vote, voting wisely and holding our public servants accountable!

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
