CIYED operates simultaneously as a Non-Governmental Organization, a national youth association, a civic advocacy body, and a civil society force recognized in Nigeria and internationally. We do not merely speak for Nigerian youths — we are constituted, mandated, and equipped to act for them. We collaborate actively with other registered NGOs, international development bodies, civil society coalitions, UN-affiliated organizations, and government ministries both within Nigeria and across the globe. Behind CIYED's name is not a small committee. It is a structured national movement of young Nigerians — professionals, students, artisans, community leaders, diaspora members, and activists — who are watching their country's leadership with expectation, and who respond powerfully to leaders who step up to meet them.
We fight the social conditions that breed crime: poverty, unemployment, and institutional abandonment.
We design & advocate for practical empowerment programmes that helps everyone.
We file petitions, engage oversight agencies, and initiate legal proceedings that works.
We serve as the formal, lawful channel through which millions of Nigerians engage government at all levels.
