INITIATIVE FOR RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP (IRC)

Annual Activity Report

About the Organisation

The Initiative for Responsible Citizenship (IRC) – formerly Talkamnaija NGO – is a registered non-profit social enterprise dedicated to promoting participatory governance, civic responsibility, and sustainable community development in Nigeria. IRC believes that effective governance grows from active citizen participation and transparent institutional engagement.

Registered with the Nigerian Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), IRC operates an online platform that enables citizens to report community issues, including electrical maintenance failures, waste management lapses, and environmental sanitation violations. By connecting citizens with government institutions, we strengthen accountability, service delivery, and trust in governance processes.

Vision and Mission

Vision: A Nigeria where citizens and institutions work together transparently to achieve sustainable development and accountable governance.

Mission: To empower citizens through civic education, participatory engagement, and evidence-based advocacy, promoting responsible citizenship, social inclusion, and collective accountability.
