In a continued effort to recognise and celebrate Nigeria’s uniformed workforce, Project Unifeed, a growing social impact movement, marked its fifth anniversary on International Workers’ Day with an expanded footprint across Lagos, Abuja, Anambra, and Oyo states.
Founded in 2021, Project Unifeed is dedicated to honouring the dedication and sacrifices of uniformed personnel — including police officers, traffic wardens, and road safety officials — who work tirelessly to maintain law, order, and public safety. The initiative is spearheaded by Mojibade Sosanya, popularly known as MojibadeShow, a renowned compere and social advocate championing a culture of kindness, compassion, and civic recognition.
This year’s edition was the most expansive yet, directly engaging over 1,000 uniformed workers through welfare packages, motivational messages, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude delivered at their duty posts.
“Uniformed workers are often the unseen backbone of society. This project is our way of saying: We see you, we appreciate you, and we value your service,” said Mojibade.
The inspiration for Project Unifeed came from a seemingly ordinary moment — during a routine commute, Mojibade was moved by the sight of an elderly LASTMA officer directing 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.”
What began as a personal act of kindness has since grown into a nationwide movement rooted in community, compassion, and shared purpose. Every May 1st, volunteers across Nigeria mobilise to deliver not just gift boxes, but messages of hope and human connection.
“We want the boxes to mean more than just gifts. We want these heroes to feel seen, loved, and encouraged. Our goal is to foster a society where uniformed officers are no longer feared, but trusted and respected.”
Reflecting on the journey, Mojibade acknowledged the early challenges but celebrated the progress made: “From the beginning, there were obstacles — but we learned, adapted, and stayed consistent. Today, uniformed officers recognise us, welcome us, and even look forward to our visits.”
She noted that the selection of this year’s states was intentional: Lagos as Nigeria’s cultural hub, Abuja as the federal capital, Anambra representing the East, and Oyo symbolising the Southwest.
“With more volunteers and partners coming on board, we’re optimistic that Project Unifeed will expand to even more states next year.”
The 2025 edition featured roadside games, grassroots interactions, and celebratory activities in high-traffic areas, made possible by growing volunteer support and sponsorship from organisations and individuals aligned with Mojibade’s vision for a more humane and united Nigeria.
Among those present at the events were passionate leaders and supporters, including Ariyiike Dimplez Owolagba (actor and social media influencer), Bisola Amuda (Project Manager, MojibadeShow), Mandy Donnett (Brand Manager, MojibadeShow), Temitope Richard Banjo (Leadership and Culture Consultant), Vivian Okeke (Lekki Coordinator, Project Unifeed), and Simileoluwa Fayombo (CEO, Rejig Wellness), among others.
