Think Borno First is a grassroots social re-engineering initiative committed to reshaping the narrative of Borno State through the power of community engagement, local innovation, and civic pride. We believe that sustainable progress begins from within — when people are inspired to take ownership of their future and work collectively to rebuild their communities.

Founded in response to years of conflict, displacement, and underdevelopment, Think Borno First was created to ignite a renewed sense of purpose, unity, and resilience among the people of Borno, particularly its youth. Our work centers on encouraging homegrown solutions that leverage local knowledge, skills, and values to address the region’s most pressing challenges.
