Let’s start with this report from Tribune:
Ondo State government on Thursday alleged that the non-accessibility of the governorship candidate of the Labour Party […]

Killing the Freedom of Information Bill…the 7th time!

June 4th, 2008  |  by Imnakoya  |  published in Democracy, Governance, Nigeria

It is just getting tougher not being cynical about Nigeria!
The Nigerian national lawmakers have been grappling to pass the FOI Bill into law. The bill almost made it during the Obasanjo tenure, but because it was bundled with a controversial bill that would have extended President Obasanjo’s tenure, it was thrown out.
The FOI […]
