ABOUT GENERATIONAL VOICES

Generational Voices, which is also known as   GenVoices, is a growing non partisan pan-Nigerian movement of persons aged 18 to 40. It also embraces those over 40 who serve as mentors and supporters. It was conceived as a means to convert online engagement into practical and sustainable change.

A key lesson from Occupy Nigeria was that social media chatter and street protests were not sustainable solutions to Nigeria’s problems. It became clear that without political participation and active engagement in government, our generation will continue to be denied the chance to make widespread and definitive impact.

GenVoices is working to birth political, economic, social and technological solutions to national challenges by encouraging more members of our generation to participate in politics and make a difference in government and governance.

Through our 40Under40 Dialogues series, GenVoices creates opportunities across Nigeria and the Diaspora for individuals to come together to share their desires, dreams, concerns and solutions for Nigeria.

Genvoices which is a growing global movement of Nigerians aged 18 to 40 has a group of dynamic older mentors, with its mission of birthing social, technological, economic and political solutions to national challenges by our generation and to be handed over to generations to come. It focuses on the active conversion of online and offline efforts into practical national change.

Within its short time of existence, GenVoices has established eighteen chapters in major states of Nigeria and six chapters outside the country, including Texas, New York, Washington DC, United Kingdom, Cyprus and Ghana.
