Executive Service Network - Nigeria

Donation protected
I am fundraising to support an organization, Executive Service Network for Nigeria, that I co-founded with a number of prominent Nigerians in Lagos in March 2018 and incorporated in the USA in May 2018. The strengths of a nation’s social enterprises and social institutions are critical determinants of the quality of a nation’s development and the well-being of its people.

We invite you to visit our website at:  http://www.ExecutiveServiceNetwork.org.

Our Vision is a Nigeria which stands in the near future as a giant of social progress and social development in Africa and globally. Our Mission is to establish within Nigeria an Executive Service Network of hundreds of thousands of volunteers consisting of active and retired professionals. We will connect the executive volunteers in an expansive web of coordinated and validated initiatives with the goals of enhancing the impact of existing social development enterprises and institutions and stimulating the creation of the necessary new enterprises and institutions that enrich social development.

By 2050 Nigeria will be the third most populous nation, following India and China. We are confident that as Nigeria makes great strides in social development over the next several decades, Africans across the continent and people of African descent in the vast African Diaspora will be lifted economically and socially.

We envision Nigerians in Nigeria and its Diaspora, African Americans, and others interested in social development in Nigeria heeding a "call to action" while bringing their immense knowledge, skills, experience, and dedication to contribute as volunteers to a comprehensive and robust initiative promoting the emergence of the Nigeria of our highest ideals.

The Executive Service Network’s home base in Nigeria is Volunteer Corps, an indigenous Nigerian not-for-profit organization. Volunteer Corps was founded in Lagos in 1992 by Sir Ademola Aladekoma, a renowned business developer and social entrepreneur. Sir Ademola, members of the Board of Trustees of Volunteer Corps, and other prominent Nigerian educational and business executives were leaders along with me in founding the Executive Service Network in Nigeria.

Since August 2017 I have spent more than four months in Lagos as an executive volunteer collaborating with my Nigerian colleagues to establish the Executive Service Network. I returned to the USA in April 2018 to lead the incorporation of the organization in the USA with the goal of garnering resources and support in the Americas and Europe to achieve our Vision and Mission in Nigeria. God willing, I will dedicate the next two decades of a very successful career as an executive volunteer with my Nigerian partners in enhancing the nation’s social institutions.

The Executive Service Network in the USA is completely reliant upon a volunteer staff and a non-salaried board whose expenses are not reimbursed. Donations will be utilized principally to build the staff and organizational infrastructure in Nigeria for our initiatives.

When you donate, you are making a commitment to the realization of the fully blossomed transformational potential of Nigeria. You also understand that your contributions have the potential of enabling the emergence of Nigeria as a global leader standing on the foundation of vibrant and transformative indigenous social development enterprises and institutions.

In honor of Nkrumah, Lumumba, Cabral, Azikwe, Winnie, Malcolm, Mandela, Ali, Nyerere, Dr. Stella Ameyo Adadevoh (who risked and lost her life heroically preventing an Ebola epidemic in Nigeria), and other great Pan African visionaries, I ask that you give generously and as soon as possible. I will keep you apprised of future opportunities to become a volunteer.
