Community & Town Union Renewal.

Long before federal Nigeria existed, Igbo and many other Nigerian communities organised themselves through town unions, age grades, kindreds and neighbourhood structures. These institutions still exist, but in too many places they have grown tired, opaque, or captured by money politics. The reset asks them to work again.

What renewed structures look like

• Transparent finances published to members on a known schedule.
• Elected leadership measured by what is delivered, not by who paid most for the chieftaincy.
• Town union meetings that include young people, women and the diaspora as full participants.
• Visible community standards, security, sanitation, schools, dispute resolution, that members can name and defend.

Why this is the core of Ezi na Ulo First

No state or federal government can do for a community what a community will not do for itself. The pilot begins here because this is where citizens still have direct authorship of what governance becomes.
