RHD-FYEI is a citizens' initiative. We use social media the way young Nigerians actually use it, to put the government's record in front of the people it was built for.
Why we started
Meanwhile a rumour that the whole thing was abandoned reaches half a million phones by Friday. That distance between what has been built and what people believe has been built is the whole problem. It was never a policy problem.
States and the FCT, with ambassadors recruited where they live.
Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Pidgin and English, same day.
Jobs, economy, security, infrastructure, education, health, digital economy, social welfare.
Every claim we publish is checked against the source first. One wrong claim costs more than the ten it was meant to correct.
Not a podium. Not a press release. The timeline is the delivery route.
How we work
Nigerians under thirty get their news from their feed, not from a podium. So the record goes where they already are, in the format they already watch, made by people whose faces they recognise. Nobody forwards a press statement. People forward things that came from someone they know.
Our desk answers claims about government programmes in Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Pidgin and English. The mandate calls this amplifying verified achievements, and verified is the word we live by.
YCGPPIA runs a continuous national study of what young Nigerians have heard of, what they were able to access, and what changed for them. Findings reach the desks where policy gets written. Some of it makes uncomfortable reading. That is the reason it is worth having.
One line, one question: how do I apply? Which programme, which portal, which documents, what deadline. When a case stalls, we chase it and tell the person where it went.
We are already there
They run campus sessions, answer questions locally and send back what they hear. Nobody does this anonymously.
For leaders who want in
This is a citizens' initiative backing a mandate we believe in. What we ask of public office holders is simpler than money and harder to give.
Let our creators film the work properly, on site, without a minder.
When our researchers bring you ward-level findings you would rather not read, engage with them.
Send the young people in your constituency our way. Training and equipment are already funded.
Perception findings from your own wards, quarter by quarter, before anybody else has them.
Come and work
Most of them are waiting for somebody to ask.
