Blue Lagos has commenced a community sensitisation and engagement campaign across riverine and coastal communities in Lagos, aimed at promoting inclusion and civic participation.
The initiative seeks to amplify the voices of underserved communities, raise awareness on civic responsibilities, and draw attention to the unique challenges faced by residents living along the waterways.
Through a combination of on-ground interactions and digital advocacy, the organisation said it aims to foster inclusive participation and ensure that no community is left behind.
Speaking on the campaign, the Director of Mobilisation and Community Engagement, Ashade Abdul-Salam, stressed the importance of engaging directly with residents to better understand their daily realities.
According to him, key issues to be addressed include access to basic services, transportation challenges, and opportunities for development and improved governance.
The campaign will feature community visits, sensitisation videos, interactive sessions, and stakeholder engagements, all designed to empower residents with the knowledge and tools needed to actively participate in shaping their communities.
Blue Lagos urged riverine and coastal residents to take advantage of the initiative by sharing their experiences and staying informed about civic processes, including voter registration and community development programmes.
The organisation noted that the campaign represents a significant step toward strengthening connections between communities and decision-makers while promoting inclusive growth across the state.
