Protocols
Complements of the season and welcome to the first annual end of year comference of our noble Initiative.
The ideas of Revive Africa Initiative initiative was birthed sometime in August 2017 out of passion to raise a platform of young persons with enough caurage and moral tenacity to comfront how failed system, take conscious steps to correct the ills in the society and build a network of patroits that are committed to touching lives and serving humanity in a bid to create a better and egalitarian Africa that we can all be proud of.
The first project of the organization was a solo project which was to give an innocent prison inmate who was remanded for about a year without trial justice, three months later through the financial assistance of Prince Ned Nwoko, We were able to secure a court sitting for Mr. Ambrose Akpokili Abel who is partly from Isoko but based in Aboh Delta state. The sitting was held on the 23rd of December, 2017 and he was discharged and acquitted.
In December 2017, we started planning for a "save our lives" conference which eventually held @ Elkan terace hotel Portharcourt on the 23rd of February, 2018 to discuss the challanges of contemporary Africa ranging from eduction, system failure, decayed infrastruture, bad leaderahip, curruption, Joblessness and insecurity. And a dinner at chicken republic GRA Portharcout.
In match we partnered with the Delta state Directorate of Oriention on voters registration sensitization across campuses, subsequently in April/may we also partnered with them on same sensitization across markets in Delta state.
On the 25th of April, we were able to conlude our registration with the cooperate affairs commission and secured our certificate of incorporation .
Within this period we were also able to to select volunteers and directors to man different core mandates of the initiative
In september during the flood menace, we engaged aggressively in flood victims support advocacy in which all the directors were actively involved and we made our mark.
In October we built our official website @ reviveafricainitiative.com.ng, set up our advocacy newsblog @ voiceofthestreetadvocacy magazine and opened a corperate account.
On the 4th of October we led a massive protest to call for justice for Mr. NWEKE a student of Federal college of education who was shot by a trigger happy Police officer on campus, a struggle we are still pursuing to see that the Police culprit is prosecuted.
Early November, 13th presicely, we led a Prison reform advocacy and interfaced with the attorney general of Delta state, a meeting that has yeilded lots of positive developments to be built upon.
On the 30th of november, we assited Mrs Chanumuya Justina whose husband is in Prison through the support of Barrister E. A. Uzum to pay the fees of her three children.
On the 2nd of December, we paid off the entire fees of miss. Faith Aghariaha, an indigent 300level student of Delsu who hails from edo state through the support of Engr. Sir. Jude Sinebe to save her from dropping out.
We are also currently raising funds for the school fees of. Miss. Blessing kor from Benue state and a first year student of federal university of technology, Minna to enable her fulfil her dream as the first graduate in her family, and at the moment, we have been able to raose 58,000 out of 111,650 that she needs to clear her fees.
We also initiated the 'educate the African Child campaign' to Assist out-of-school children in Africa return to school and we are making moves to partner with as many stakeholders who are willing to support as possible and we hope to launch our first phase of of the campaign in january.
The 2018 humantitarian year under review, though filled with challanges has blessed us with many fulfilling won battles.
Our projections in 2019 are there for as follows
1. Secure a well furnished Administrative office for the Initiative
2. Purchace a functional service vehicle
3. Raise more volunteers across all states in Nigeria and Atleast reach out to ten African countries.
4. Float our advocacy magazine in hard copies
Our core mandate in 2018 shall be focused on the following core areas.
1. Promotion of education in Nigeria
2. Prison reform and prison interventions
3. Youth reorientation and mentoring
4.societal development advocacy.
Revive Africa Initiative is a progressive movement of volunteer patroits in Africa working for a better Africa, by making sacrifices and hence purely a humanitarian and non profit adventure, i therefor urge each and every director to understand that to make the desired impact, we must be willing to make sacrifices.
This is a moving train and unwilling passangers may be left behind. I therefore urge all directors to brace up for the challenges ahead.
Finally i want use this opportunity to appreciate the chairman of the board, the legal advisers, host of directors and all volunteers, without your many sacrifices, we would not be where we are today.
Thank you and Godless you.
Signed.
