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!
