| The Nigerian Renaissance Movement(NRM), a non-profit, non-partisan, non-government membership based Community Development
/Social Rights Advocacy Movement was birthed in December 2005 in response to agitation by the Nigerian masses for credible,
accountable, efficient and effective leadership at all levels. The initiative also seek to build a "People Power" coalition
that will continually push for increased freedom and accountability by bringing the masses to realizing and embracing their responsibilities.
In its brief period, the movement has been involved in the mobilization of grass root communities for voluntary community
development projects and proative participation in social/civic activities. Operating from our national secretariat in Lagos, Nigeria, the movement
has extended it tentacles to other local governments in Lagos, the six geo-political zones and other states of the country with oversea representation.
