Ahead of the February general election, the Network and Advocacy Group of Lux Tera Leadership Foundation has been organizing leadership training programmes, targeted campaigns, public enlightenment initiatives, youth development and community-based roundtables in its bid to drive citizenship education.
A recent release from the foundation showed details of the advocacy, political education, leadership development workshops and youth leadership consultative engagements.
These are the foundation’s tools in guiding the citizenry towards informed political decision-making.

“By ensuring that each such advocacy message addresses specific, current and urgent matters of leadership, citizenship, general public interest and general public good, our foundation has created a unique, impactful and admirable approach to building public awareness in a sustainable way,” the head of the foundation, Rev. Ehusani, said.

According to Ehusani, “A vibrant civil society voice is an essential ingredient for strong democracy in a country like ours. Such a voice highlights gaps in leadership recruitment, in government service delivery, corruption and injustice.”
