The Dare Institute is an independent civic organisation registered as Incorporated Trustees in Nigeria. We are non-partisan, non-governmental, and entirely citizen-funded.
The Dare Institute was founded on a single, uncomfortable observation: that most Nigerian citizens know something is wrong, but don’t know exactly what, why, or what they can do about it. The system depends on that confusion.
The Dare Agenda is the response. Not a protest. Not a party. A citizens’ institution that takes the constitution seriously — and insists that everyone else does too.
The name comes from a conviction: that the single most radical act a Nigerian citizen can perform today is to dare — to demand, to document, to organise, and to hold power accountable without fear, favour, or tribe.
