Fela Durotoye has been at the forefront of the movement to build a New Nigeria for over a decade. He is renowned for history making on the national or global stage. Over the past decade, he has built a track record of National Transformation projects, many of which are so bold and audacious; near impossible tasks.
Notable among the too many to mention transformation projects which Fela has championed is the largest urban renewal project in Nigeria’s history known as MUSHIN MAKEOVER where Fela mobilized over 2,000 volunteers to paint 296 houses across 7 streets of the Mushin suburb of Lagos, AT NO CHARGE to the owners and resident of the buildings.
In the course of the Mushin Makeover project, over 100 unemployed youths were trained by Berger Paints PLC in ‘The Art & Technique of Painting’. Today, they have become vibrant painters and are able to earn a living as a result of the Mushin Makeover project.
On the 24th of November 2012, FD organized the epoch making GEMSTONE GLOBAL READING FESTIVAL where over 12,000 students spread across 18 state capitals in Nigeria as well as in 9 countries across Africa, Europe and the USA all read out aloud in their various locations selected sections of Fela's book 17 SECRETS OF HIGH FLYING STUDENTS (17 SECRETS) at the exact same moment in time at the same time across several time zones.
This was the first-ever simultaneous global reading of a book in 17 cities in Nigeria and 17 countries across the world at the same moment in time (via live streaming). The reading was done simultaneously, taking into account, the different time zones of each reading centre.
During this project, Fela Durotoye donated 17,000 copies of the 17 SECRETS to students from Public schools, many of whom could not afford it all across the nation. Twith the aim of enhancing the reading culture
Also in November 2012, Fela broke the world record for "autographing the largest number of books by one author" when he autographed non-stop 10,000 copies of his book in one-seating over a period of 8 hours and 43 minutes.
In 2014, the Deliver The Future Project was founded and embarked on a leadership and personal transformation tour to tertiary institutions such as University of Ibadan, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Benson Idahosa University etc
The aim is to leave its trail in academic excellence by encouraging the academic and non-academic staff of schools to improve the standard of communication and process of knowledge transfer to create a more conducive learning environment.
The GEMSTONE Network actively engages transformational leaders at all levels of the society; through the GEMSTONE Leadership Clubs in over 300 primary and secondary schools as well as GEMSTONE Leaders Connect Network on more than 70 campuses in tertiary institutions across Nigeria. The GEMSTONE Leadership Corp network activates recent graduates on the National Youth Service Corp program to engage is community transformation projects across 30 states of the nation.
Perhaps Fela’s most significant contribution to Nation Building is the VALUE SYSTEM which he developed and is currently endorsed and actively promoted by over 30,000 Nigerians across all gender, tribe, social class or religious affirmation.
The 10 Values are encapsulated in a PERSONAL CREED of ten lifestyle statements as follows:
MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT on everyone you meet and everywhere you go.
BE A SOLUTION PROVIDER and not a part of the problem to be solved.
BE A ROLE MODEL worthy of emulation.
BE YOUR BEST IN ALL YOU DO particularly the things you are naturally good at.
DO THE RIGHT THING AT ALL TIMES regardless of who is doing the wrong thing.
VALUE TIME and make the best use of it.
CARE & SHOW RESPECT TO ALL through your words and actions.
CONSCIOUSLY BUILD A GREAT LEGACY starting now, today and everyday.
LIVE A LIFE OF INTEGRITY AND HONOR.
MAKE YOUR FAMILY, NATION AND GOD PROUD.
The 10 Values have been adopted by individuals and organizations. They have also been adopted by professional associations such as Association of Private Educators of Nigeria, the Nigerian Institute of Mechanical Engineers and the Mortgage Bankers Association of Nigeria to mention a few and more recently government agencies and parastatals.
In 2014, the government of Anambra state formally endorsed & adopted the 10 Values for the citizens and civil service of the state, also in November 2014, the government of Lagos state trained 500 of its top civil servants across all ministries & agencies on the 10 Values.
The VALUES INFUSION project is the largest non-governmental effort at reorienting the citizens of a nation and integrating a value system into our nation’s consciousness in recent times.
