@TonyGao We already have community members who work in government and have the potential to become leaders in the sector in the future; whose approach to solving problems has been shaped by their association with us. So I can say that EA is not completely out of the traditional avenues of power rather in touch with it.
We would focus on promoting EA to all with the aim of attracting those with the potential solve pressing issues. These persons could be in the government, non governmental organisation or an independent individual who is working on one project or the other.
I think there has also been a push within the EA community for members to take jobs in government and policy because altruistic individuals would apply same principles.

@TonyGao No, it is not. The major problem of third world countries is effective management of resources, they approach it with short term thinking, this reflects in infrastructures, policies and other aspects of the economy, in other words they are not altruistic in their approach, while other developed economies have been observed to apply the principles of longtermism to positively impact the lives of people in their region/country.
Promoting effective altruism in Nigeria has helped to shape individual's thought process and approach to solving pressing problems. This has reflected in the work and projects they do.

@Jason We have had about 5 - 10 persons for the meetup in Abuja, we have had over 50 in the last two years who attended from other parts of the country.
Our members through consistent involvement with us have been equipped to make informed decisions in their career, studies and projects, some of them have been actively involved in volunteering for EA aligned organizations.
