PVC-NAIJA CHARGES NIGERIAN STUDENTS ON POLITICAL EDUCATION
Nigerians students have been charged to take its rightful position as catalysts of global development. Students from across the country were also tasked to make history again and change the order of the loop side political structure in ntthe country. This clarion call was the key message at the Project Victory Call Initiative’s press conference held in commemoration of the World Students Day in Lagos.
Also kown as PVC-NAIJA, the group which is a political advocacy and sensitization movement also unveils a political education project tagged: Relay 2050.
Dr. Bolaji Akinyemi, the National Coordinator of the group stated that Nigerian students have been the life line of this nation. He added that the struggle for our independence was championed by people who were mostly students in their days, and those who were not, caught, the bug while they were students abroad, enduring the temptation to abort their studies to join the struggle for the sole of their mother land from our then colonial Master.
PVC-NAIJA recalled how Ladipo Solanke a Nigerian student demonstrated the high sense of responsibility through the formation of West Africa Student Union (WASU) in 1925.
“At twist and turn in the journey of our father land towards democracy, the voice of Nigerian students has been loud. Their courage was a force; they joined with others like NUJ, NBA, NLC and groups like NADECO who were products of the June 12 struggle to see the military off to the barrack”. Dr. Akinyemi, the National Coordinator of the group said.
“Nigerian students are indeed great. That greatness, we are here to acknowledge and celebrate. “Education is the key to liberation from pre-modal governance, the path way to human intellectual advancements and societal development, A people without education are covenanted to poverty”
“In the past, we have often missed the take when it comes to electing our leaders, but the mistake became very obvious when desperation for change, led to change without a change of order, preparation was not made for the change we make”.
The PVC-NAIJA Coordinator noted that “If Nigeria must be saved come 2019, A step must be taken in the right direction. There is the need to set up a structure of enlightenment for our illiterate voters, Farmers, Artisans, market men and women. They are the proud parents of the great Nigerian students whose simplicities are manipulated for gullibility. This has remained an asset to the political class”.
“Our parents must be rescued through political education. Though the illiteracy of vast majority of our people are counter productive at making informed decision. Very disturbing is the illiteracy of our “educated illiterates” which has sustained the role that fake news and propaganda plays in our political decisions.
The state of our polity is a function of political illiteracy, our social media is awash with political ignorance.
Kofi Anan, said, “Knowledge is power, information is liberating, education is the premise of progress in every society, in family.
Dr. Akinyemi quoted late Kofi Anan model of bottom to top approach to trigger a process of godly change in our society adding that “from LG’s, States and National Government), from the family units to the larger societies, there is need for us to do the needful; educate our teeming illiterate populace”.
“Knowledge must be disseminated via education upon which every societal progress is premised.
“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today”- Malcom X
“Students and Youths being that class of our society to which the future belong, must be given the right to lead in making decisions that will impact on their future. They constitute the numerical strength of our voting population and their strength will be harnessed and deployed to prepare a glorious future for them. Their deployment to “RACING WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD” is imperative”.
“The world is in a race, a race so defined to provoke our creativity, but ignored till date by our leaders, defined by the phrase which qualifies the place we are occupying in a racing world; third world country! There is no doubt that the world has left us behind, but must we remain behind?”
“The behind position of Africa is not due to the absence of natural resources. Nigeria alone is more endowed with this, than the whole of Europe put together. It is not in want of intellectual capacities for Africans are among the best of human resources contributing their quota to make other nations and continents attain greatness. We are about the best in every field of life, the realities of life and facts on record attest to this. This speech will end rhetorically without out a mentioned of very few”
Of, Oluwole Akinwande, the poet who gets you dizzy. Bukola Elemide popularly known as “ASA” the “little hawk” because when she was young, will often ran away and changed direction like a hawk.
Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, indeed a wizard at his trade, they call him wizkid.
Chimamanda Adichie, the pen merchant whose first two strokes on paper won a literary award.
Adeola Sagoe has given the world of fashion a strict challenge for its tittle.
Genevieve Nnaji has brought fame, glamour and elegance to the Nollywood Industry.
Oluchi and Agbani are among the best of ladies on the walk way.
Shola Ladoja who is redefining the critical area of our agricultural productivity, filling the gap of processing and preservation of farm products.
Laolu Isaac Sebanjo, whose work added value to Beyonce’s on her way to the Grammy.
Jelani Aliyu, the leading Nigeria car designer with General Motors, brought back home to head and give directions to National Automotive Design Development Council, (NADDC).
Bosun Tijani, whose exploit and work in ICT commanded the attention of Mark Zuckerberg to visit Nigeria. The list is endless!
The peril of Africa, is that the educated are not politically educated. The best are led by “The beast” and the mentality of the beast is perpetually to remain premodia so that ancient landmark are maintained, even when they stand in the path of the road we must construct for our development. Status quo, we must maintain even when they tend towards income loss, animals would not be ranched and his environment underdeveloped to retain the identity of a “giant jungle”.
Nigeria must not remain big for nothing.
Time to rise is now!!
Social Capital Investment.
The social capital of love, that nature has bestowed on relationship must become the engine to drive the change expected. The bonds of love between Students and their parents must come handy. The force of social influence generated through peer pressure will for once be positively channelled to bring the nation to the understanding of where we are in the global race, and the effort that must be unleashed to catch up with the rest of the world.
2019 elections for us at Project Victory Call Initiatives, A.K.A PVC-NAIJA, is viewed as hitting the mark for the race we must run.
Staggering Reality.
The population of Nigeria today is a guess, between 150- 200 million. That’s a problem, as certain provisions cannot be made for an uncertain number of people.
Our populations today house the poorest of people in the world, the crisis is compounded with 13.5 million children out of school.
A Looming War.
70% of the proliferation of global small arms numbered at 500 million have found it’s way into Nigeria, with 300 million arms in a nation of 150million. That is an average of 2 arms per person. The monster behind this catche are the political class, whose children are kept far away from the battle ground, but their plan to unleash war against our innocent generation shall not see the light of the day.
What We Must Do!
We must make the right decision in 2019.
A Nigeria students who is 18 years old today would be 50 years old in 2050, the year the United Nations projection says our population will be 3rd largest in the world.
The preparation for 2050 must start now, by those who will be the adult then to manage the reality that 2050 portends.
Racing With The Rest Of The World.
Relay 2018- 2050
2019 must be decided to give us a good ahead start.

The event which also featured goodwill messages from various unions, professional bodies and association also encouraged students to interact and ask questions from members of PVC-NAIJA
Journalists for Good Governance Shines Searchlight on Local Government Administration
…Calls for Accountability in Nigeria’s Grassroots Governance
LAGOS, Nigeria — A civil society coalition known as Journalists for Good Governance(JGG) has intensified public debate on transparency and accountability within Nigeria’s local government system, urging media professionals, civil society actors, and citizens to hold grassroots leaders accountable.
Speaking an event in Lagos recently, the acting chairman of the society, Comrade Bunmi Obarotimi said that despite reforms such as the Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling granting financial autonomy to all 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs), systemic challenges continues to hinder effective service delivery and responsible stewardship of public funds.
“Local governments are the closest tier of government to the people — yet too often they remain the least transparent. Without civic oversight and vibrant media, promises of autonomy ring hollow.” the acting chairman said.
The Journalist for Good Governance emphasised crucial roles that journalists can play in uncovering discrepancies in council spending, flagging poor service delivery, and educating citizens on their rights. Their call comes amid wider efforts by media and civic organisations to bridge accountability gaps. The civil society initiatives had previously launched monitoring campaigns to track local government expenditures and have been quietly advocating for transparency in how public money is deployed.
The leaders of the Journalists for Good Governance (JGG) highlighted the importance of physical assessment and citizens engagement on projects to boost people’s confidence, urging local councils to adopt open data platforms and proactive information dissemination in compliance with the Freedom of Information Act. Experts say the majority of LGAs currently lack operational websites or digital portals, further limiting public scrutiny.
The Journalists for Good Governance initiative aligns with sustained advocacy by civil society groups and governance experts calling for a collective approach to strengthening democratic accountability, and has decided to engage in critical and holistic assessments of how Local Governments is being run and the impact and quality of projects they embark-on and to address deficits in transparency and public trust.
Meanwhile, some state governments have signalled support for improved community engagement. In Lagos State, authorities reiterated a commitment to enhancing community media platforms as vehicles for civic participation and accountability at the grassroots level.
The renewed spotlight on local government administration has reignited public debate over fiscal responsibility and priorities. Controversies such as the widely criticised Adamawa council chairmen’s wives trip to Istanbul — which drew public outrage for perceived misuse of public funds — underscore why watchdog groups say stronger oversight mechanisms are urgently needed at the grassroots.
Citizens and activists have welcomed the journalists’ initiative, calling for sustained media engagement that goes beyond headlines to influence policy and accountability reform.
The civic rights advocates note that real change will require robust legal frameworks, a free press, and empowered communities equipped to demand transparency at every level of governance.
As Journalists for Good Governance mobilises its members, the coming months are likely to see heightened media attention on grassroots administration — from council budgets and service delivery to the enforcement of public information laws and digital transparency initiatives.

GEN CHRISTOPHER GWABIN MUSA SUPPORT INITIATIVE COMMENDS STATE-FEDERAL COLLABORATION IN ZAMFARA
The Gen Christopher Gwabin Musa Support Initiative (GCGMSI) has commended the Zamfara State Government for its decisive contribution to security operations through the donation of newly acquired armoured personnel carriers (APCs), surveillance drones, and other critical operational equipment to troops and security agencies in the state.
This commendation was contained in a statement signed by the Convener of the GCGMSI, Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani, Sadaukin Garkuwan Keffi/Betara Biu, and made available to the press.
The equipment was formally commissioned on Wednesday, February 18, by the Grand Patron of the GCGMSI and Minister of Defence, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, OFR (rtd.), in a ceremony at the Government House, Gusau. The event was attended by senior military officers, heads of security agencies, and top officials of the Zamfara State Government.
The GCGMSI, in its statement, hailed the donation as a “transformative and timely intervention” that aligns perfectly with its core objective of advocating for and supporting tangible measures that enhance the operational capacity and welfare of Nigeria’s security forces. The Initiative praised Governor Dauda Lawal’s administration for moving beyond rhetoric to actionable, material support, describing the move as a “blueprint for state-level collaboration in national security.”
“The provision of these assets by the Zamfara State Government is a testament to visionary leadership and a profound commitment to the peace and stability of its people,” the GCGMSI statement read. “It represents the exact kind of synergistic partnership between state and federal authorities that the GCGMSI champions. This initiative will significantly close operational gaps, boost the confidence of our gallant troops, and send a strong message to criminal elements.”
Speaking at the commissioning, General Musa emphasized that sustained collaboration is indispensable in confronting the nation’s evolving security challenges. He specifically commended Governor Lawal for his proactive support.
“Governor Dauda Lawal has demonstrated exemplary leadership and an unwavering dedication to the security of Zamfara State,” the Defence Minister stated. “The provision of these armoured vehicles, surveillance drones, and other operational equipment will undoubtedly boost the morale and operational effectiveness of our troops and other security agencies on the ground. This is a commendable effort that should be emulated by others.”
The newly commissioned assets, which include multiple APCs and advanced surveillance drones, are expected to dramatically enhance the mobility, protection, intelligence-gathering, and rapid response capabilities of security forces, particularly in the state’s remote and difficult terrains where anti-banditry operations are ongoing.
In his remarks, Governor Lawal reiterated his administration’s steadfast commitment to being a reliable partner in the security architecture. He urged security agencies to deploy the new resources responsibly and effectively to safeguard lives and property.
The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Defence, reaffirmed its commitment to continuing and deepening such partnerships with state governments across the nation to strengthen coordination and resource allocation in the collective fight against insecurity.
The GCGMSI concluded its statement by urging other state governments to take a cue from Zamfara’s “bold and pragmatic” approach, affirming that such concrete support is vital for achieving lasting peace and security across Nigeria.
