deomello: Good work, sir. It would be nice to add a little historical perspective to this. Bashorun J.K Randle is the son of Joseph Kosoniola Randle MVO MBE, (1909 - 1956) who was a Nigerian businessman and socialite from Lagos. He was Chief de Mission of the Nigerian Olympic team to Melbourne, and was connected to various public activities in Lagos. Randle was a social crusader and philanthropist, who started the Nigerian arm of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society, and a member of the Lagos Town Council. But his politics discouraged extreme nationalism. He was also a sportsman who was a trustee of a proposed National Stadium. His brother, John K. Randle (1855 – 1928) was a West African doctor who was active in politics in Lagos, during the colonial era. Born in Sierra Leone, he was one of the first West Africans to qualify as a doctor in the United Kingdom. On his return, he worked for the Lagos Colony colonial medical service for a while, then left due to discrimination and built up a successful private practice, treating both Europeans and Africans. Joseph Kosoniola Randle was given the title of Lisa of Lagos by Oba Adeniji Adele. Randle was a founding member (and later Chairman) of the prestigious Island Club. He was also a sports enthusiast, vice president of the Nigerian Olympic Federation, as well as the British Empire and Commonwealth Games Association, and a trustee of the proposed National Stadium. After his death, the J.K Randle Memorial Hall at Onikan, was built in his honour and opened up to the public. Sadly, that historical building was demolished last year, by unknown people who claimed to be acting on the orders of the state govt. “For the last hundred years, the Randle family had contributed to development in Lagos, starting with my grandfather. He was looking out of the window in Marina and saw a man defecating in the open and he protested to the colonial master to build public toilets. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Co-Founder and CEO of BudgIT. [b]A Co-Creation Hub Hackathon set the stage for public finance analyst, Oluseun Onigbinde, to launch one of the best ideas that Nigeria has seen in some time – BudgIT. Because of BudgIT, Nigerians now have access to federal budgets while they are being drawn up. BudgIT uses SMS, infographics, interactive applications and games, amongst other tools, to bring transparency and accountability to civil society while aiming for a more socially and economically evolved Nigeria. According to Oluseun, BudgIT simply aims to provide budget access, which both he and his team believe is the key to civic engagement and institutional reform. Oluseun is presently working on international partnership to advance BudgIT’s vision. The Africa Transparency Initiative, a Pan-African initiative, USAID, Ford Foundation, and the Knight Foundation are some of the partners that the company has managed to make progress with over time. Additionally, BudgIT has developed tools such as ‘Tracka’ and ‘Fitila’ to monitor local community projects.[/b] The idea is that rather than having reports just being entirely narrative, we want them to be backed by data. We don’t want 1000-word opinion pieces not backed with data guiding the thoughts. BudgIT currently employs 22 people and has future plans to build “sustainable cities” that are data-driven. To do this, Oluseun is ready to “pull the old order down and rebuild a new experience for stakeholders” while strengthening access to citizens in digital and offline communities. “We want to publicise finance data in the hands of citizens, raising their ability to ask questions and demand service delivery. But we don’t want to do this with heavy dependence on donor funding, so we want to ensure that we fully establish a thriving business segment that focuses on private clients and development agencies in areas of data science, visualization and civic technology.” 3 Likes |
