We are calling on the Rivers State Government to take urgent action on the Chinda (by Ada George) Road. The current state of this stretch is becoming a nightmare for commuters and business owners alike.
It’s time for a proactive approach to road maintenance in our state. We need a Zero Pothole Task Force that functions effectively to nip these issues in the bud before they escalate into total road failures.
Let’s get this to the right desk.

Announcing our First 2026 Education Grant Beneficiary.

At PILEX Centre for Civic Education Initiative, we believe that education is the most powerful tool for civic transformation and sustainable development. Today, we are proud to turn that belief into action.
We are excited to announce Nyeche Alexandra Osaruchi as the very first beneficiary of the PILEX Centre Education Grant for 2026.

This grant isn't just a certificate or a financial contribution; it is an investment in a bright mind and a commitment to ensuring that financial barriers do not stand in the way of academic excellence and community leadership.

As we navigate the challenges of 2026, the need for educated, civic minded leaders has never been greater. By supporting students like Alexandra, we are strengthening the foundation of our society.

Please join us in celebrating her achievement and wishing her the absolute best in her studies. 🥂🙌

Reflections on Rivers State: One Year After the Emergency Rule

Courage Nsirimovu , Coordinator of the Pilex Centre for Civic Education Initiative, in an interview with Silverbird News 24 to provide a critical assessment of Rivers State's journey following the 2025 emergency declaration.

A year ago, the state faced a significant constitutional crossroad that led to the suspension of democratic institutions. Today, the conversation shifts from crisis management to the long term implications for governance, human rights, and the rule of law.

At Pilex Centre, we remain committed to civic education and the protection of the democratic rights of every Rivers person.
