From clean-up walks to town halls, campus chapters and a statewide moot court, every programme is designed to organise Rivers people around service.
Environmental work-walk
OK Chinda Green Rivers Project

Each town hall produces a written path from problem to solution to accountability.
Culture as unity
Rivers Unity Dance Competition
06
Culture used as a tool for unity — and to detribalise the campaign. The aim is to make OK Chinda a Pan-Rivers figure rather than a candidate of any single ethnicity.
Traditional dances
Cultural storytelling
Traditional music competition
Costume displays
Participants can represent different communities and cultural groups across Rivers State.
Digital civic space
Online Competitions
07
Regular digital competitions to encourage creativity among young Rivers residents, with live video sessions on Facebook and TikTok and prizes to be won.
Current affairs
Rivers history quiz
Essay writing and debates
This engages young and older people, demystifies the reward system and places the candidate’s name in the media space. Winners can receive educational grants, employment, certificates or mentorship opportunities, subject to transparent rules and funding.
A signature addition
Rivers State Moot / Court Competition
A particularly strong programme because it connects education, law, leadership and civic participation — which Rt. Hon. OK Chinda has sponsored over the years.
The Initiative will organise a statewide inter-institutional moot court competition involving law students and potentially debate and public-speaking categories for other students. A panel of qualified legal practitioners and academics will serve as judges.
