Setforth Nigeria Organization

For a better Nigeria

We are volunteer, non-political and not-for-profit organisation with grassroots membership.

About Us

Founded in response to Nigeria’s deepening social divisions during the 2019 general elections, and formally registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission in 2021, SNO is composed of like-minded academics, professionals, and grassroots volunteers who believe in the power of people-led change.

SNO envisions a Nigeria where ethnic, religious, political, and socio-economic divisions are replaced with empathy, cooperation, inclusion, and justice. We challenge hate, bigotry, insecurity, and corruption by equipping individuals and communities with the tools to build peace, protect the environment, and restore national values of honesty, integrity, and patriotism.

Our Vision & Mission

To nurture a new Nigeria by promoting responsible citizenship, peaceful co-existence, climate awareness, and community-driven development through research, training, policy engagement, and volunteerism.
