Citizens Rights Initiative

Location

main Benin City
Nigeria

Using entertainment media, music, videos, blogs etc, as a mechanism for the mobilization of citizens and the construction of a new political/democratic culture in society to improve social justice, human/citizen rights and governance.

Reason:
It is unique in that it presents citizen rights in a fun appealing sort of way that is bound to connect with young people whom I understand are the major target of this project. Its use of internet blogging is also significant for the twin purposes of increasing IT awareness, something that is lacking in African communities and also promoting individual and group networking.
