Ifikie Governor

Mike,a frustrated 26-year-old graduate, watches helplessly as his younger brother Wycliffe battles cholera,a stark reminder of the dire environmental conditions in their community. Determined to make a difference, Mike uses his passion for photography to document the rampant pollution and posts these images online, igniting a social media campaign.
Despite setbacks, including being robbed and facing skepticism, Mike's unwavering resolve
inspires his friends to join the cause. Together, they use the hashtag #ifikieGovernor, catching the attention of the Governor.
Moved by their dedication, the governor supports their efforts, leading to a community-wide
clean- up initiative that symbolizes hope and renewal. Through this journey, Mike finds purpose
and strength, transforming from a disillusioned graduate into a beacon of change for his community.
