The Victoria Island chapter of Junior Chamber International has launched ‘IpledgeNigeria’ campaign to sensitise Nigerians on nation building ahead of the general election.
Olamipo Adeola, chapter president of the organisation, said the initiative is to reawaken the consciousness of the people to be more committed in their various responsibilities to the nation.
She said youth involvement in the affairs of the country is very crucial in holding the government accountable.
“I know Nigeria is not where we all want it to be, but it’s our Nigeria and we must consciously get involved, else nothing would change,” Adeola said.

“We would be advocating for active youths participation in government at various levels.
“Citizens will be voting to elect their leaders into various offices and Nigerians must be aware that with our PVC, we are responsible for the candidate we elect and how our nation would be for the next four years.
“Citizens will be sensitised on their duties before, during and after the election, as we will be advocating for zero tolerance against Violence, vote buying or selling and any act that may hinder a free and fair election.”
