| Dr. Peter Agada |
Dr. Peter Agada, a renowned architect and seasoned administrator, has officially declared his intention to contest for the presidency, positioning himself as a highly viable and acceptable alternative.
A Legacy of Architectural and Infrastructural Excellence
With over 29 years of experience in the architectural field, Dr. Agada is widely recognized for his expertise in infrastructure and acoustic architecture.
As the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cyrus Group Nigeria, he has built one of the world’s leading acoustic organizations, achieving global success by the age of 54.
His professional pedigree is further solidified by his recent role in the "Big Tent" shadow government, where he served as the Minister of Infrastructure, Energy, Works, Housing, and Urban Development.
In this capacity, he formulated policies aimed at modernizing Nigeria's crumbling infrastructure and solving the nation's energy deficit.
The "Labour Direct" Solution Template
Central to Agada’s campaign is labourdirect.com, a comprehensive digital and policy solution template designed to address every sector of the Nigerian economy.
The platform offers a structured approach to:
• National Security: Utilizing a blend of community-based intelligence and advanced technology.
• Economic Stability: Tackling currency volatility and youth unemployment through targeted sectors like agriculture and solid minerals.
• Infrastructure: Leveraging his decades of experience to build sustainable urban environments.
From the Obidient Movement to the National Stage
Dr. Agada is no stranger to the inner workings of the Labour Party’s grassroots resurgence. He served as the immediate past Director of Finance of the Obidient Movement, where he managed the financial machinery that powered the party's 2023 performance. However, citing a need for greater organizational discipline and a shift toward principled governance, he recently resigned to focus on building The Movement Nigeria, a platform committed to citizen-driven development.
Rooted in Faith, Family, and Community
Beyond his professional and political accolades, Dr. Agada is deeply committed to social welfare. A father of eight children including three who are adopted, he is described as a man rooted in God and family values. His philanthropic efforts through various charity endowments have touched all 36 states and the FCT, with a particular focus on his native Benue State, providing relief and empowerment to the vulnerable.
As the Labour Party enters a period of realignment, Dr. Peter Agada’s unique blend of technical expertise, financial transparency, and humanitarian commitment makes him a compelling choice for Nigerians seeking a vibrant and structured path to national renewal.
DR. AGADA AT A GLANCE: A MAN DESTINED AND EQUIPPED TO LEAD NIGERIA OUT OF ITS PRESENT ECONOMIC QUAGMIRE
At 54 years of age, Dr. Peter Agada stands as a rare fusion of technical brilliance, corporate success, and political foresight. He is not just a candidate; he is a solution-driven leader prepared to navigate Nigeria through its most turbulent economic era.
The Architect of National Renewal with over 29 years of cognate experience as an architect specializing in infrastructure and acoustic architecture, Dr. Agada understands the "bones" of a nation. As the Chairman and CEO of Cyrus Group, he has built one of the world’s largest acoustic organizations, proving that Nigerian leadership can dominate global markets. His expertise earned him an Honorary Doctorate in Acoustic Architecture from Gulf American University in 2025.
