Politics, Governance, and Participation

Nigeria’s political landscape is at a pivotal juncture, marked by persistent governance challenges that undermine democratic growth and inclusive development. This systemic dysfunction creates a cycle of exclusion and disillusionment.

Social fragmentation further complicates Nigeria’s path forward, with generational exclusion stifling national unity. Young Nigerians are often marginalized in formal political processes, limiting the country’s potential for innovative leadership.
