CSRRI emerged from a collective understanding that meaningful societal change requires sustained civic engagement beyond election cycles. Our founders, a diverse group of passionate Nigerians, recognized the critical need for a structured, nationwide body focused on both voter mobilization (especially among youth) and electoral oversight. We are not just observers; we are reformers working within the democratic space.
