It begins with belonging.
A non-partisan movement grounded in a simple belief: informed, empowered citizens can shape a more peaceful and prosperous Nigeria.
Raise informed citizens. Change the future.
Our model begins with identity and confidence in the earliest years, develops constitutional understanding and leadership at school, then builds self-reliance and service in adulthood.
The aim is a Nigeria where more citizens have the knowledge, agency and opportunity to build better lives, resist division and participate peacefully in public life.
One early experience. A lifelong mission.
As a young Brownie in the Girl Guides, founder Abisayo Busari-Akinnadeju learned identity, responsibility, confidence and service. That formative experience inspired a model that seeks to offer the same foundation to young Nigerians.
Abisayo Busari-Akinnadeju, FCIArb, is a lawyer, arbitrator and governance strategist. She founded the #IAMANIGERIAN movement in 2016, building on years of civic service.
Her experience links an early sense of belonging to education, professional responsibility and community service. This is the journey the movement now seeks to reproduce at scale.
