Enough is Enough (EiE) Nigeria, a civic movement focused on promoting democratic accountability, is set to mark fifteen years of activity with an event scheduled for 10 December in Lagos. The milestone celebration, themed “Footprints & Frontlines,” aims to highlight the organisation’s history of citizen mobilisation and ongoing efforts in governance reform.

The theme reflects both the achievements and continuing work of EiE. “Footprints” recognises the initiatives the group has undertaken across Nigeria’s civic landscape, from voter education campaigns and policy advocacy to public forums and digital engagement. “Frontlines” represents the ongoing efforts of Nigerians in classrooms, courtrooms, markets, studios, and online spaces to hold government accountable and contribute to nation-building.

The event will feature a keynote address by <code>Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organisation, and will be hosted by media personalities Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and Ayo Mairo-Ese. A documentary detailing EiE’s fifteen-year history of citizen engagement and advocacy will also be premiered.

Reflecting on the organisation’s work, EiE Executive Director Opeyemi Adamolekun said: “EiE’s story is proof that a small group of committed citizens can reawaken a nation’s conscience. For fifteen years, we have turned civic frustration into civic action—demanding better, insisting on truth, and showing that democracy only works when citizens do. As we enter this next chapter, our mission is unchanged: to keep the flame of accountability burning, and to remind every Nigerian that leadership begins with citizenship.”

Since its founding in 2010, EiE has led initiatives such as the #RSVP campaign, which encouraged voter registration and participation, and the #OfficeOfTheCitizen platform, which promotes civic education online. The group has also been involved in national advocacy efforts, including the #EndSARS protests, campaigns for electoral reform, and programmes aimed at enhancing transparency and constitutional accountability.

The upcoming event is expected to draw attention to the role of civil society in Nigeria and the importance of sustained citizen participation in democratic processes.

Last month, EiE Nigeria marked the 10th anniversary of its flagship campaign, the #OfficeOfTheCitizen (OOTC) initiative, with a renewed appeal for financial and institutional support to sustain its civic education and public accountability programmes across the country.

The anniversary event, themed “What Do We Really Want for Our Country?”, was designed as a moment of reflection for Nigeria’s elite and concerned citizens to assess their role in nation-building beyond rhetoric.

This was revealed in a statement, on Monday, by EiE’s Deputy Executive Director of Programmes, Ufuoma Nnamdi-Udeh.

She said, “We hoped you could have joined us, and we missed you at the event.

“The conversation was meant to provoke Nigeria’s elite to reflect deeply. Many benefit from the status quo, but if we believe Nigeria deserves better, then we must do more than talk; we must act and invest in the work that drives real change.”
