Project Unifeed Celebrates Five Years Of Honouring Uniformed Heroes, Expands Reach To Four States
@Source: independent.ng
In a continued effort to recognise and appreciate Nigeria’s uniformed workforce, Project Unifeed, a grow-ing social impact movement, marks its fifth anniversary on May 1st—International Workers’ Day— with an expanded presence across four states in the federation: Lagos, Abu-ja, Anambra, and Oyo. Founded in 2021, Project Uni-feed is committed to honouring the dedication and sacrifices of uniformed personnel, including police officers, traffic wardens, and road safety officials, who work relentlessly to maintain law, order, and public safety. This laudable initiative led by Mojibade Sosanya, popularly known as MojibadeShow, a renowned Compere, is a revolu-tion dedicated to championing an attitude of kindness, compassion and civic recognition. Marking its most expansive edition yet, this year’s initiative connects with over 1,000 uni-formed workers through welfare packages, street engagements, mo-tivational messages, and heartfelt words of appreciation delivered at their duty posts. “Uniformed workers are often the unseen back-bone of society. This project is our way of say-ing, ‘we see you, we appreciate you, and we value your service,’ said Mojibade. The inspiration behind Project Unifeed was born from a seemingly ordinary moment during a routine commute. Recalling the day, Mojibade shared how she was moved by the sight of an elderly LASTMA officer courageously managing chaotic traffic under the scorching sun. “That day, God planted the seed. I realised how much these officers do, and how little appreciation they receive. That’s when I knew I had to honour them.” Since then, the vision has blossomed into a na-tionwide movement rooted in com-passion, community, and a shared purpose. “Each year on 1st of May, volun-teers are mobilised across the coun-try, not only to distribute gift pack-ages, but also to deliver a message of hope and human connection. “We want them to see the gift boxes beyond just boxes. We want them to feel loved, seen, and encouraged. Our aim is to foster a society where we no longer fear our uniformed men and women, but feel safe and supported by them.” Mojibade re-flected on the project’s early days, acknowledging the difficulties they faced. “From the beginning, there were challenges, but we learned, adapt-ed, and remained consistent. Now, uniformed officers recognise us, welcome us, and even look forward to our visits.” She further explained that the selection of this year’s lo-cations was strategic: Lagos, as Ni-geria’s cultural melting pot; Abuja, the federal capital; Anambra, repre-senting the East; and Oyo, symbol-ising the South West. “With more volunteers and partners coming on board, we’re confident Project Unifeed will ex-tend to more states by next year.” The 2025 edition includes roadside games, grassroots interactions, and celebratory activities at high traf-fic zones throughout the selected states. The expansion has been made possible by increased volunteer support and sponsorship from or-ganisations and individuals who share Mojibade’s vision of a more united and humane Nigeria. Present at the events were pas-sionate leaders such as Ariyiike Dimplez Owolagba (Actor and Social media sensation), Bisola Amuda (Project Manager for Mo-jibadeshow) Mandy Donnett (Brand Manager for Mojibadeshow) Temi-tope Richard Banjo (Leadership and Culture Consultant), Vivian Okeke (Lekki Coordinator, Project Uni-feed), Simileoluwa Fayombo (CEO, Rejig Wellness), among others.
