Initiative for Good and Informed Citizenship (IGIC) – Rescue Nigeria

Local chapters

Accountability starts in your own local government.

36 states and 774 local governments receive money from the federation account. Our chapters make sure citizens are watching every one of them.

Six pieces, one Nigeria

Organised across all six geopolitical zones

Our Rescue Nigeria emblem is a six-piece puzzle: one piece for each region, locked together in green and white. Chapters are how those pieces connect.

Pick your zone and register your interest. We will connect you with members and coordinators nearby.

Chapter questions

Ask us something else

What does a local chapter do?

Chapters monitor how federation allocations are spent in their state and local governments, attend council meetings, host viewing parties for the People's Parliament, and bring local issues to national attention.

How many people do I need to start a chapter?

We recommend starting with at least five committed members who have all taken the Common Good Pledge. We provide a coordinator toolkit and connect you with nearby members.

Are chapters political?

No. Chapters are strictly non-partisan. Members may belong to any party privately, but chapters never campaign for candidates or parties.
