The Encounter
As a multiple award-winning broadcast journalist, Seun ‘Jewel’ Oyedeji witnessed firsthand the growing disconnect between Nigerian policymakers and citizens. Frustrated by ineffective top-down communication and the public’s lack of access to decision-makers, she created The Encounter to:
Break Down Barriers – Replace bureaucratic red tape with direct, unfiltered dialogue
Restore Trust – Address the “information vacuum” that fuels public skepticism
Drive Solutions – Convert complaints into actionable policy feedback
Empower Citizens – Give ordinary Nigerians a seat at the decision-making table
“In my 15+ years interviewing leaders and communities, I saw the same problem: policies made about people, not with them,” says Oyedeji. “The Encounter flips this script – because national progress demands all voices be heard.”
The initiative reflects her career-long mission: to use media not just to report problems, but to facilitate their resolution through inclusive engagement.
“When leaders listen and citizens speak, real change begins.”– Seun ‘Jewel’ Oyedeji
