OSMD summit will activate necessary mindset makeover — Fagade

The convener of the upcoming OSMD summit and founder of Sodium Group, Mr Abisoye Fagade has stressed that his annually held summit in the city of Ibadan was to fulfill his yearning to create a community engagement network used to connect with people, engage them in decision-making, and build trust through dialogue and participation.

Briefing a cross section of media influencers in Ibadan on Monday, Fagade  said, “OSMD is a socio – political movement formed to organise and mobilise people to actively pursue common political objectives. It helps groups of people who are concerned about a particular issue or idea join forces to demand government action.

OSMD network helps people who share concerns about long-standing societal problems and believe that their rights and interests are not being adequately represented. The Network has evolved from a grassroots group into an interest group that lobbies government officials to make people centric decisions that will help foster economic growth and development.
