Citizen Journalists Network (CJN), a humanitarian community of regular citizens given to the investigation of sustainable solutions to solve social-welfare challenges for real people especially local communities in Nigeria by giving ordinary citizens a platform to tell their own stories and advocate for their own kinds of solutions has officially initiated a first of its kind humanitarian initiative tagged “Brother’s Keeper”.

Brother’s Keeper is the first ever National Humanitarian Competition where participants embark on a task to impart lives and develop their local communities for the chance to win a personal grand prize of N5, 000,000 and also secure resources to establish a major community project.

Winners are rewarded with personal cash prizes and also get provisions to champion a community project to meet the needs of their localities.

Participants in the competition are provided resources to lead a community outreach of choice and thereafter scored by their ability to initiate campaigns that improve the lives of people. It doesn’t have to be a big or genius idea; as long as it can impart a life.

This is the first ever competition where participants are rewarded for their contribution in giving back to the society and judged squarely by their passion for humanity.

Popular Nigerian Actor, Yul Edochie officially signed on the project as Ambassador after a two-day meeting with the President/Founder, CJN, Michael Edem-Duke on July 7, 2019 in Enugu. This move will see both parties work on the project for the next 1 year.

In coming weeks, CJN is set to unveil other Ambassadors also given to the vision.

Official Unveiling and Media Briefing coming soon!

We celebrate as infant CJN – Citizen Journalists’ Network bags National Humanitarian Award for ‘Humanitarian Innovation Of the Year’. We didn’t see this coming. Not so soon.

Also, Michael Edem Duke, the convener of the project was also honoured as the ‘Humanitarian Innovative Person of The Year’.

More than ever, our drive in CJN remains dogged to provide a platform where citizens can tell their own stories through their own lenses with their own voices without any form of commercial bias or prejudice. The resolve to use the power of Community Reporting in revealing the challenges of local communities and attract interventions for social good is an absolute code for us too. We must begin to see how media can provide practical solutions for society especially the local communities.

If just one thing, CJN is fired up to do more; it’s time to make this baby walk already.

This award is dedicated to every Nigerian Citizen who has done something for someone other than themselves. Nature will always be kind to you.

CJN is for all of us. You too can join others in solving practical problems
