What has Nigeria achieved since it joined the OGP?

Do citizens now have access to the budget & public info on govt activities?

What about the ease of doing business & asset recovery?

What has changed?

This thread highlights the successes of @ogpnigeria since its inception.

To reiterate, the OGP initiative is meant to promote open government, empower citizens and fight corruption among other objectives.

To achieve these, @NigeriaGov & CSOs drafted the 1st National Action Plan (NAP1), highlighting 14 commitments to be implemented between 2017-2019

The implementation of NAP1 achieved the following successes under @ogpnigeria;

• Open Budget to citizens

• Access to public information

• A Presidential Committee on Asset Recovery

• Ease of doing business, among others

#NAP2

In 2019, The 2nd National Action Plan (NAP2) was drafted as a continuation of NAP1 to be implemented between 2019-2021.

#NAP2's main objective is to ensure Inclusivity, Service delivery & Open legislature among others.

While NAP1 had 4 focus areas - Fiscal Transparency, Anti-corruption, Access to Information & Citizen Engagement - NAP2 extended these focus areas to include Extractive Transparency, Inclusiveness & Service Delivery.

#NAP2 is currently being implemented by both @NigeriaGov & CSOs

As far as institutional and public sector reforms are concerned, Nigeria still has quite a distance to cover.

@ogpnigeria has been an effective platform for driving these changes for good governance and excellent service delivery to Nigerian Citizens. #NAP2

The onus falls on citizens and CSOs to keep the momentum, #AskQuestions and #GetInvolved until all the ideals of @ogpnigeria are implemented and established.
