Do-Right Initiative seeks collective action towards national transformation

Do-Right Awareness Initiative has sought to inspire collective action towards national transformation.

This was at the just concluded webinar, themed “Making Nigeria Great Again: Your Role, My Role, and Our Role”, which brought together thought leaders, professionals and change-makers.

The discussion featured prominent speakers, such as Channels TV anchor, Kayode Okikiolu, and former CEO, OES Energy Services Limited, Dele Badejo, who shared insights on the critical need for personal responsibility and moral integrity in addressing Nigeria’s challenges.

The Do-Right Awareness Initiative, a non-governmental organisation founded on the pillars of integrity, justice, and courage, emphasised the necessity of a moral and cultural reawakening to rebuild the country.

In her opening remarks, the host, Adesua Adewole, underscored the importance of self reflection, asking participants, “What have you not done right in 2024?” This central question framed a discourse on accountability, collective responsibility, and actionable steps toward societal progress.

Mr. Okikiolu highlighted the erosion of values, stating, “We’ve done wrong for so long that it has become the norm. Recalibrating what is right is essential for our national progress.”

He also urged young people to embrace innovation and develop practical solutions to Nigeria’s unique challenges. Drawing on his extensive media experience, he shared how individual actions, when aligned with moral courage, can ripple into broader societal changes.

Similarly, Mr Badejo, spoke about the enduring value of patriotism, saying, “You must really love Nigeria to do right. Doing right is a sacrifice, but it is a choice worth making for future generations.”

The webinar also addressed pressing questions from attendees, such as how students and citizens can contribute to Nigeria’s development. The speakers emphasised mentorship, accountability, and the creation of platforms like Do-Right clubs in schools to inculcate moral values from a young age.
