The Dr. Newton Jibunoh Desert Warriors Expedition is scheduled to take off in early 2010 as a joint venture between Lagos State Government's Ministry of Environment and FADE Africa.
Prior to the expedition, there will be a preliminary/screening stage, which will take the form of an Endurance Reality Show. It would involve 50 men and women aged between 18 and 40 years of age who will be selected from applicants who paid N 3,000 to apply at any of FCMB, Intercontinental, Zenith and UBA branches.
The 50 selected participants will be invited to become contestants on The Endurance Reality show in Agadez, Niger. They will join the Nigerian ambassador to Niger Republic, and will work with officials of the Republic of Niger's Ministry of Environment on various greening projects, community services and endurance exercises.
For those who don't know, Dr. Newton Jibunoh is an engineer known mostly as the explorer who crossed the world’s largest desert alone- twice. He undertook his first Sahara crossing as a youthful adventurer and his second journey as an environmental crusader.
