CIG NG – Citizens Inclusion in Governance

our introduction

about us

The influence of data, details the need for the use of statistical data and information at individual, institutional, local government, state government, national and international levels for evidence-based policy designs. The amount of data, its quality and management will, to a large extent, determine the economic governance of a country.

In pursuance of good governance and development, bringing data to bear on and in governance is pivotal for governing stakeholders and for policymakers. Since governance is too important to be left in the hands of the government alone: everyone has a part to play in making the process of data collection as smooth as possible.

Citizens’ Inclusion in Nigeria. The Resolve

Data gathering by private individuals, researchers and organisations is encouraged, in line with bridging the existing information gaps. However, there is need for renewed coordination between all levels and stakeholders in government.

There is a need for renewed coordination between all levels and stakeholders in government. Solving issues of coordination failure from household levels to the state and to federal levels, is paramount to having a reformed data gathering process in Nigeria. Without adequate data, it is impossible to know how much development is actually taking place in Nigeria. The primary objectives of the national survey are as follows:

Working Interface

To create a working interface between the government and the citizenry to enhance the missing links.

Citizens Expectations

To drive government project to meet the needs and expectations

Identify Citizens Need

To create a national data base on citizens needs and expectations.

Sense of Belonging

To ultimately guarantee citizens a sense of belonging in the process of governance
