Enough is Enough (EiE) Nigeria has announced the speaker lineup for its 15th-anniversary celebration, ‘Footprints & Frontlines’, scheduled to hold on December 10 in Lagos.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), will deliver the keynote at the anniversary dinner.
According to the organisers, the keynote will focus on the intersection of global economics, governance and citizen participation.
The event will be hosted by media personalities Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and Ayo Mairo-Ese.

The speaker list includes Fola Adeola, co-founder of GTCO Group and chair of FATE Foundation; Oby Ezekwesili, founder and chair of the School of Politics, Policy and Governance (SPPG); Muhammad Sanusi, emir of Kano; Omobola Johnson, Nigeria’s first minister of communication technology; Frank Aigbogun, CEO of BusinessDay; Matthew Kukah, bishop of the Catholic diocese of Sokoto; and MI Abaga, rapper and entrepreneur.
EiE said the lineup reflects its approach of engaging key sectors of society in advancing civic action.
Opeyemi Adamolekun, executive director of EiE Nigeria, said the anniversary is intended to bring together influential voices across multiple sectors.

“This anniversary is more than a celebration; it is a strategic convening of the very pillars that hold our society together,” she said.
She added that having Okonjo-Iweala deliver the keynote is significant because “her global leadership is rooted in Nigerian soil” and because she delivered the keynote at the 2010 Future Awards where EiE began.
The event will also feature the premiere of a short film highlighting active citizenship across three eras of Nigeria’s democracy.
The film will spotlight the roles of the Concerned Professionals movement, the #EnoughIsEnough protests and the #EndSARS demonstrations.

The organisation said the anniversary is designed as both a moment of reflection and a platform to renew public commitment to civic participation.
