The Pacesetter

The Pacesetter program is designed to recognize Nigerians who are making significant contributions to their communities, towns, states, or Nigeria as a whole through meaningful projects or activities that have a direct impact on people. These individuals are projecting a positive global image of Nigeria through their creativity, inventions, and contributions toward making the world a better place. They are also promoting national peace and stability through their determined efforts to move the country forward.

The Great Nigerian Assembly (GNA) celebrates and honors these exceptional Nigerians regularly, showcasing their contributions and philanthropic efforts to the nation. Projects submitted for consideration can be ongoing or completed, as long as they have a direct positive impact on the community or the nation as a whole.

The goal of the Pacesetter program is to showcase such projects to the world and encourage others to embark on relevant projects that will support development efforts across Nigeria. The commendation module on the voiceitout.org platform is used to commend such individuals and their outstanding contributions to the nation.

By recognizing and celebrating exceptional Nigerians, the Pacesetter program aims to inspire and motivate others to contribute their skills, knowledge, and resources toward building a better Nigeria. It serves as a platform for promoting patriotism, innovation, and community development, ultimately contributing to the nation's progress and growth.

Affordable World-Class Education (AWE) Program

Education is essential for the personal, social, and economic development of any nation. It empowers individuals and is the most effective way to eliminate poverty, corruption, unemployment, and environmental problems. As Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world," and the GNA strongly shares this belief.

However, GNA recognizes that access to quality and affordable education is often beyond the reach of the average Nigerian. To address this issue, the Affordable World-Class Education (AWE) program has been launched to implement a tuition-free and affordable tertiary educational platform accessible to students across the country.

The AWE program will also provide a platform for Nigerian experts in the field of learning and education to collaborate, enabling them to develop and maintain an up-to-date academic curriculum that meets the current challenges of our nation. The transfer of knowledge is facilitated by leading scholars and academics with a genuine interest in educating young Nigerians, preparing them for the task of nation-building and development.

Furthermore, GNA is partnering with global leaders in tertiary education to provide the necessary support and assistance for its online platform.

GNA collaborates with individuals, organizations, and institutions that promote quality education and its affordability and view education as a guaranteed means of poverty reduction and positive behavioral change.

Investing in the future of the upcoming generation will yield positive results and enable us to discover new knowledge and work towards solutions to today's challenges, which will change the way we live and think tomorrow.

GNA's experts are conducting research and making technological breakthroughs and policy recommendations on issues that affect the lives of Nigerians.

GNA's education-focused activities include but are not limited to:

• Establishing, maintaining, and funding a global education platform for Nigerians to access quality education relevant to the 21st century.
• Providing scholarships for gifted students to pursue graduate studies overseas.
• Creating a platform for Nigerian academics and professionals to collaborate in finding solutions to educational and technological challenges.
• Preparing the next generation for the digital age and helping them become better leaders.
• Creating a platform for Nigerian educators and trainers to impart knowledge to young Nigerians.
• Encouraging and preparing students to reach their full potential.

GNA Medical Village

The proposed GNA Medical Village is a project by the Great Nigerian Assembly (GNA), designed to provide world-class medical services to Nigeria and the entire west African region. The project comprises several medical buildings on a large expanse of land, which will accommodate medical services, accommodation for health workers, a helicopter landing pad, a school, and a shopping mall, among others.

The proposed GNA Medical Village aims to improve the quality of medical care in Nigeria and provide access to world-class medical services for patients across the country and the region. The village will house various medical facilities, including a hospital, clinics, and laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment and staffed by highly trained medical professionals. It will also provide a range of medical services, including emergency care, surgery, diagnostic imaging, and cancer treatment, among others.

In addition to medical services, the proposed GNA Medical Village will provide accommodation for medical staff, including doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. The accommodation will be equipped with modern amenities to ensure the comfort and well-being of medical personnel, enabling them to provide high-quality care to patients.

The proposed GNA Medical Village will also have a helicopter landing pad to facilitate emergency medical evacuations and transportation of medical supplies and personnel to and from the village. Additionally, the village will have a school, 4 start hotel and a shopping mall to cater to the educational and commercial needs of the medical staff and the local community.

Overall, the proposed GNA Medical Village is a much-needed project that will significantly improve the quality of medical care in Nigeria and the region. It will provide access to world-class medical services and facilities, thereby reducing the need for medical tourism and saving lives.

Voice It Out

VoiceItOut, a program sponsored by the Great Nigerian Assembly (GNA), empowers every Nigerian to raise petitions on issues of common interest. By signing petitions, citizens provide GNA with a platform to follow up with the appropriate authority for corrective action. Petitions could pertain to governance, the economy, specific policies, or poorly executed projects that negatively impact citizens.

VoiceItOut operates as an independent people's parliament to ensure justice, equity, and good governance in Nigeria. Beyond raising petitions, the platform also enables citizens to commend individuals, associations, or government agencies at the local or state level for their good performance in fulfilling their responsibilities promptly to the citizens.  On the platform, every petition and commendation are well scrutinized to avoid abuse or misuse.

GNA funded and supported the VoiceItOut platform is a crucial tool for promoting citizen participation in governance, ensuring accountability, and transparency in government activities. The program seeks to improve governance and help build a better Nigeria by providing a platform for citizens to voice their concerns and participate in the development of their country.

Election Eye

The Great Nigerian Assembly (GNA) program, "ElectionEye," is a platform sponsored and supported by the GNA and the Coalition for Credible Election (CCE), an interest group of the GNA. The CCE has a mandate to support and encourage free and fair elections in Nigeria and Africa. The ElectionEye platform provides an opportunity for every GNA registered and verified individual/association to give an eyewitness account of the election activities within their locality and environment. This allows for verified eyewitness reports and accounts to be made available globally.

The platform is highly monitored and scrutinized to ensure that the election process is transparent, and potential election process manipulators are put in check. The aim is to authenticate the election process, instill confidence in the system, and encourage transparency.
