At a time when many Nigerians have lost faith in the political system, a new movement is rising with a bold mission: to restore hope, rebuild trust, and reclaim Nigeria’s destiny.
Naija Changemakers, a newly formed national forum, is mobilising credible, patriotic Nigerians to take action where it matters most — at the grassroots.
Convened by Professor Femi Olufunmilade, a respected scholar and former presidential aspirant, Naija Changemakers is not just another gathering of disillusioned citizens. It is a revolutionary platform, built around the belief that changing Nigeria is not the responsibility of a few, but a duty that every concerned Nigerian must shoulder.
“All politics are local,” Prof. Olufunmilade emphasised during the forum’s inaugural address. He outlined a clear roadmap: from building a robust national network, the movement will cascade down to the states, local governments, and wards — ensuring that the call for change penetrates every corner of Nigeria.
At its core, Naija Changemakers is anchored on three urgent truths: Nigeria’s political crisis is everyone’s problem; The forces that undermine the nation are organised; Therefore, citizens who want a better Nigeria must be even better organised.
The group brings together distinguished individuals – professionals, thought leaders, and citizens of proven integrity — who are determined to end the cycle of bad governance. It is a space where ideas are shared freely, where solutions are crafted collaboratively, and where action, not empty rhetoric, is the ultimate goal.
While not yet a political party, Naija Changemakers is a potent political force. It serves as a launching pad for birthing a new kind of leadership: leaders who emerge from the people, for the people, and remain accountable to the people.
In Prof. Olufunmilade’s words, “The least one can say is that our country is in such a state that we can’t behave as if it’s the responsibility of some people to save us. With that spirit, Naija Changemakers calls on Nigerians — students, professionals, market women, artisans, and every citizen tired of the status quo — to rise, organise, and become architects of the new Nigeria.”
As insecurity, economic hardship, and political decay continue to suffocate the dreams of millions, the Naija Changemakers movement offers something precious: a chance to fight for a Nigeria that works — for everyone.
For members at Naija Changemakers, Change is no longer a slogan. Its now a mobilisation. A responsibility. A revolution of conscience, which must begin at the grassroots.
