Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, urged closer ties between Nigeria’s National Assembly and civil society organizations. He emphasized that robust legislative oversight is crucial for transforming government policies into real-world improvements for citizens. Dogara made these remarks during the National Assembly Open Week in Abuja, highlighting the importance of a collaborative relationship. He believes that strengthened partnerships will lead to more effective scrutiny of government actions and resource allocation. This increased accountability, according to Dogara, will ultimately benefit all Nigerians. The call for collaboration underscores a focus on good governance and transparent policy implementation within the nation.
