EiE Nigeria to mark 12th anniversary with book presentation, fundraising auction

Enough is Enough Nigeria (EiE), a civil society organisation, is set to launch a book on its history through the eyes of its founders and partners.

The organisation announced the development in a statement issued on Wednesday.

The book, titled ‘Footprints: Past. Present. Future’, is scheduled for a public presentation on December 12 at the Muson Centre in Lagos.

With 12 chapters, the book features contributors like Innocent 2Baba Idibia, Tunde Bakare, Aisha Yesufu and Seun Onigbinde, while Christopher Kolade is credited with the foreword.

Alongside the book presentation, a pre-election fundraising auction across art, fashion and photography will also be held.

“History beckons on the 12^th day of the 12^th month in its 12^th year, as Enough is Enough Nigeria (EiE) hosts a public presentation of its book of 12 chapters that reflects on its history through the eyes of its founders and partners—titled, Footprints: Past. Present. Future,  Christopher Kolade writes the foreword, and the contributors are as diverse as Aisha Yesufu and Tunde Bakare to 2Baba and Seun Onigbinde,” the statement reads.

“In addition to the book presentation, the event will also feature EiE’s pre-election fundraising auction across art, fashion and photography, with pieces donated by leaders in their respective sectors like Bruce Onabrakpeya, Deola Sagoe and Kelechi Amadi-Obi.

“This book is positioned as a collector’s item because of its unique style of presenting timely information about citizens’ rights & responsibilities in the context of a growing democracy. The time is also strategic as Nigerians take steps towards ensuring all registered voters can select credible candidates; vote without violence and protect their votes on election day, and in the four years that follow by holding public servants accountable.”

Speaking about the event, Yemi Adamolekun, executive director of EiE Nigeria, said the book was compiled over three years, adding that it promises deep reflection on the responsibilities and rights of citizens.

“I am very excited that this book, which is a labour of love over three years, is finally here. I am also delighted that our generous donors have once again chosen to support our work with their participation in our pre-election auction,” she said.
