Project Awaken Nigerian Youths (“Project ANY” or “Project”)

Project ANY is aimed at tackling Nigeria’s under-development by enlightening the youths on the fundamentals of good governance and mobilising them to become active participants in the governance of their communities. 

Project ANY aims to raise awareness of the importance of taking the voices of youth into account, and harnessing their energy as agents of positive change. Youth from different geo-political zones will come together at the regional and national level to promote their agenda, and interface with political leaders managing the transition process.

To help deepen and sustain the fledgling Nigerian system of democratic governance, young men and women need a permanent platform to engage with government, and influence current debates as well as exercise oversight. 

The goal of Project ANY is to empower youths to take an interest and actively participate in governance in their immediate community. This is based on the belief that any Nigerian Youth can be responsible to effect the desired change, so every Nigerian Youth must be empowered to make that change.
