This event provides meaningful, fun, inspiring and motivating atmosphere where public-school pupils are brought together to undergo a “war of words” and become a placeholder of a political office for one day.

- iAdvocate for Education: This is a public campaign for education advancement in Nigeria. Through this campaign, we hold state actors responsible for education development accountable while engaging with meaningful individuals to speak up, lend their voices for the betterment of education in Nigeria. Annually, this campaign aims to sign up 1Million campaigners/voices, (1 million voices for education).
- Education as it is: “Education as it is” is an annual media campaign for education by a team of documentary photographers across the 36 states of Nigeria that tells about the state of education through their lenses. The result of this campaign is used by Dbegotin as an advocacy tool to hold state actors accountable and lobby stakeholders to continually develop education.
- What about Education: Because the main cause of the decay in education has been low political will, “What about education” was rolled out to engage directly with political candidates on their mandate for education. Candidates are brought to give their blueprint for education before they get elected and are held accountable with their public commitment when they get into office.
