Meet Honorable Abike Dabiri: Sponsor of Freedom of Information Bill

June 6th, 2008  |  Published in Democracy, Governance, Nigeria  |  2 Comments



abike-dabiri.gifThere might not be much good associated with the Nigerian politicians, but there are few whose commitment to public service and social responsibility are worthy of mention. Abike Dabiri (AC) is one of those.

Hon. Dariye is a member of the House of Representatives from Ikorodu and the sponsor of the Freedom of Information bill, which the House recently rejected. See: Killing the Freedom of Information Bill…the 7th time!. Other bills sponsored by Dabiri are: Journalism Practice Enhancement Bill and the Nigerian Infant Health Welfare Bill. The latter mandates free medical care for children aged 1-5.

Hon. Dabiri is the Chairman of the House Committee on the Media and Public Affairs. She worked at NTA for 15 years before becoming a legislator.

    I dont believe that the Nigerian House of Reps has killed the FOI bill again. That is a shame.

    Yes, it is a shame. Let’s see what the Senate will do with it now. Thanks!
