ABOUT THE CITIZENS PROJECT

A nation that watches, records and participates.

OUR EVOLUTION

From a media initiative to a national movement

The Citizens Project began as a social responsibility initiative of Orbitnews, a media and strategic communications firm in Abuja. It has become a national development and media advocacy organisation, committed not only to observing governance but to shaping Nigeria’s developmental narrative.
