Withdraw the Foreign Aid (Regulation, Transparency and Disclosure) Bill, 2026

As a coalition of civil society organizations in Nigeria, we formally demand the immediate withdrawal of the proposed Foreign Aid (Regulation, Transparency and Disclosure) Bill, 2026, currently advancing through the Nigerian Senate.  This bill is repressive and unconstitutional. It is an insidious state-sponsored attempt to police empathy, weaponize bureaucracy, and place undue restrictions on the fundamental right of citizens to support and care for one another. At a time when everyday Nigerians are pulling together to survive unprecedented economic hardship [...]

Can State Police Fix Nigeria’s Security Crisis?

Every new kidnapping, violent attack, or unresolved case deepens a difficult question many Nigerians are asking: who exactly feels protected by the country’s policing system? Across Nigeria, insecurity continues to rise while public trust in law enforcement institutions continues to weaken. For many citizens, the policing crisis is no longer only about crime. It is increasingly about accountability, legitimacy, and whether security institutions still command public confidence. It was against this backdrop that the Open Alliance convened a stakeholder dialogue [...]

Accountability Lab Nigeria Calls for Stronger Measures to Protect Press Freedom While Upholding Broadcasting Standards Ahead of 2027 Elections.

Accountability Lab Nigeria notes the recent directive issued by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) over alleged breaches of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code ahead of the 2027 general elections. The Commission’s emphasis on fairness, balance, accuracy, and restrictions on hate speech and presenter bias reflects legitimate concerns about the integrity of Nigeria’s broadcast environment, particularly in the build-up to the 2027 general elections. However, the broader question is not whether regulation is necessary, but how it is designed, communicated, and enforced [...]

Driving Environmental Justice Through Citizen-Led, Strategic Waste Management in Jabi, Abuja.

Waste management remains a persistent governance challenge in the Federal Capital Territory.

Communities located near poorly managed dumpsites often bear the brunt. The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) allocated N2.6 billion in 2025 specifically for waste management projects across Abuja like solid waste collection, sewage treatment, and sanitation contracts; gaps in implementation and oversight have left [...]

Strengthening Public Procurement Systems with Accountability Lab Nigeria’s AI-Enabled Open Contracting Tool

Procurement processes in Nigeria are often opaque and difficult for the public to access or understand. Citizens barely have no way of knowing how public contracts were awarded, and journalists struggle to uncover discrepancies hidden in hard copy procurement documents. This is as a result of manual, outdated and opaque processes allowing loopholes, inflated contracts, and weak compliance to thrive, leaving communities disconnected from the very services meant to serve them. “The truth is, people don’t ask questions when there’s [...]
