Enough is Enough (EIE) Nigeria, a civic society organisation with a special interest in democracy and accountability, is set to celebrate 15 years of transforming civic engagement in Nigeria with an event scheduled for December 10, 2025. This was contained in a recent statement by EIE Nigeria.

The event, which will be graced by the Director of the World Trade Organisation, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, is themed: Footprints and Frontlines. According to the EiE’s statement, the event’s theme captures the achievements and the ongoing activities of the organisation in the civic landscape.

“Footprints speak to the trail EiE has blazed across Nigeria’s civic landscape – from protests to policy advocacy, radio town halls to civic tech tools, voter campaigns to youth mobilisation. Frontlines represent the ongoing work of nation-building – in classrooms, courtrooms, markets, studios, and digital spaces – wherever Nigerians are pushing for progress through integrity, creativity, and service.”

Commenting on the upcoming event, EIE Executive Director Opeyemi Adamolekun, argued that the EIE’s story is “proof that a small group of committed citizens can reawaken a nation’s conscience.” Fifteen years later, Adamolekun argued that the organisation persists in its objectives of advocating accountability and good citizenship.

According to the EIE Executive Director, “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.

“As Enough is Enough (EiE) Nigeria celebrates this historic milestone, it stands ready in its purpose: to build a democracy where accountability is culture, not just hope; participation is a duty, not just a request; and the Office of the Citizen is the truest expression of leadership.”
