Who We Are?

Our Mission

Building Nations Initiative –BNI (formerly Better Nigeria Initiative) is a youth-led youth work and community development organisation that is committed to raising a new generation of young people as builders of a better society. We achieve this goal by strengthening communities through the education, empowerment, and engagement of young people as change agents in their respective communities. Established in 2009 as a students’ association at the University of Ibadan, BNI later restructured into a youth-led association of youth workers that are committed to empowering young people as nation builders.
