Politics & Social Campaigns

The project was designed to drive a community building
conversation with the people highlighting the impact of
community service, volunteering and team projects.
The effect of the program was marginal as first but by 2012, the
project had gathered enough momentum to push for the launch of
a social network domain, a 2015 governorship campaign and a
Technology Business Roundtable initiative.
The vision was simple for the youths “Building Akwa Ibom State
in your dreams”
For Owoideghe, Akwa Ibom State should be a Destination of
choice for all Nigerians by 2019.
