A newly launched book, It is imPOSSIBLE: Influencing Change in Nigeria, by Udo Jude Ilo, the Executive Director of the Centre for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) presents an insightful reflection on the complexities of driving societal and policy change in Nigeria. The book showcases the power of collective and consistent action in influencing change.
In a country where governance often lags behind citizens’ needs, the book offers a roadmap for change agents. It examines the efforts of civil society organisations, activists, and leaders who work tirelessly to improve the lives of Africans despite numerous challenges.
In the last two decades, Ilo has worked to support a framework of democratic accountability that allows for the primacy of citizens’ voices through his professional roles and writings as a social commentator. At various times, he has led advocacy delegations to Brussels, London, United Nations and Washington DC. He has also testified as a witness before the United State Congress.
