A Portal for Citizens to Share Their Ideas with the Government
In response to the call of President Bola Tinubu for a mindset change and patriotism among Nigerians during his campaign, a group of citizens led by Dr. Peter Ojo, an information technology expert and a Nigerian in the diaspora, have launched a portal called Letter to AsoRock. The portal allows citizens to submit their ideas or proposals to the government in a transparent and efficient way, bypassing the bureaucratic process.
Letter to AsoRock is a gift to the incoming administration by citizens who wish the incoming administration success. The portal aims to connect citizens with the government and bring positive change to the country. The portal is open to all Nigerians, both at home and abroad, who have valuable ideas that can improve Nigeria in various sectors such as education, health, security, economy, infrastructure, environment, etc.
The portal is easy to use and accessible at www.lettertoasorock.com. Users can create an account and submit their ideas or proposals in a simple format. The portal also allows users to view, comment, and vote on other ideas or proposals submitted by fellow citizens. The portal will rank the ideas or proposals based on their popularity and relevance and forward them to the relevant government agencies for consideration and implementation.
Dr. Peter Ojo, the founder of Letter to AsoRock, said: “We created this portal as a way of contributing to the development of our country. We believe that every Nigerian has something to offer to make Nigeria better. We also believe that the government needs the input and feedback of the citizens to deliver good governance and service delivery. That’s why we built this platform that bridges the gap between the citizens and the government.”
He added: “We are not affiliated with any political party or interest group. We are just patriotic Nigerians who want to see our country prosper and grow. We hope that this portal will inspire more Nigerians to participate in nation-building and foster a culture of innovation and collaboration among Nigerians.”
Letter to AsoRock is named after Aso Rock, a large outcrop of granitic rock located on the outskirts of Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. Aso Rock is one of the city’s most noticeable features and houses the Presidential Complex, the National Assembly, and the Supreme Court. Aso Rock symbolizes the seat of power and the center of Nigeria’s political gravity.
The portal was launched on May 29, 2023, coinciding with the inauguration of President Bola Tinubu, who won the 2023 presidential election under the banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC). President Tinubu is widely regarded as a visionary leader and a reformer who has promised to transform Nigeria into a prosperous and progressive nation.
Since the unveiling of the portal, hundreds of people have registered and started submitting ideas and proposals from over ten countries. Some of the ideas or proposals include improving the electricity supply, fighting corruption, creating jobs, promoting agriculture, enhancing security, etc.
Letter to AsoRock invites all Nigerians to visit https://www.lettertoasorock.com and share their ideas or proposals with the government. The portal also urges Nigerians to spread the word about Letter to AsoRock on social media and with their friends using the hashtag #LetterToAsoRock.
