TIENigeria is a non partisan, youth-based organization that champions the cause for good
governance in Nigeria. It is an initiative of the 2014 Fellows on the Good Governance team of the Carrington
Youth Fellowship Initiative (CYFI) program of the United States Consulate, Lagos. The conception of TIE Nigeria comes from the recognition of the need for the youth population to actively participate in
the Nigerian leadership and governance process. Even though the youths make up over 60% of Nigeria’s population, youth participation in governance today is negligible. Increased youth participation will put more pressure on leadership to perform thereby deepening our
democracy and spreading the dividends of democracy.
