Initiative for Good and Informed Citizenship (IGIC) – Rescue Nigeria
Our work
Eight tactics that convert frustration into focused action and civic awareness into an organised force.
Tactical framework
Anchored on a clear “why” and a commitment to “making good trouble” — lawful, non-violent, intellectually rigorous action that resets public mentality. We challenge the celebration of instant and questionable wealth, confront wasteful practices, and wage war on mediocrity and “connections”.
Mobilising millions of Nigerians to sign petitions on issues of national importance — to marshal public opinion, pressure decision-makers and legitimise demands for reform.
Using the courts as arenas for civic engagement: supporting suits against harmful policies and unconstitutional actions, and choosing cases that become rallying points for reform.
Memes, skits, short dramas, documentaries, polls, newsletters and explainers — data-informed content designed to provoke reflection, conversation and action.
Artificial intelligence, data analytics and targeted platforms that deliver the right message to the right audience and track sentiment and impact.
Press statements, opinion pieces, billboards and open letters to national leaders and global institutions that keep critical issues in the public eye.
This website: the authoritative source for our statements, petitions, citizen feedback, data and archives of actions taken.
An annual public reckoning. A longlist is published each year, and on 31 December a Notoriety Awardee of the Year is named.
Before & after
LongListNigeria
Every year, a public longlist of those adjudged to have acted most against the people's interest. Every 31 December, one name.
In later years, a symbolic public event may feature a crown of thorns placed on an effigy of the awardee — underscoring moral accountability and public condemnation.
