Despite Nigeria's creative energy, it has often been represented through failure and crisis in global media. The Nehemiah Project seeks to change this perception by encouraging Nigerians, specifically young people, to take responsibility for their storytelling. Apostle Obii Pax Harry has assembled a team of professionals from various creative-industry sectors, including Eniola Akinbo-Niyola, Maliz Mahop, Shawn Faqua, Eliora Ebere, and Dare Omisore.
