EiE Nigeria Weekly Update Thursday, December 22, 2016

 "Future generations will judge us not by what we say, but what we do." -Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (Liberian President)

#OpenNASS

EiE in partnership with VOTO and 11 other organisations had a press conference to advocate for transparency in the affairs of National Assembly with regards to e-voting, making the attendance records public and breakdown of the 2016 and 2017 budgets. The Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives have made several promises to make the budget public but those promises have not yet been fulfilled. At the press conference, a flash service hotline was shared for citizens to call, get information about governance and sign petitions demanding for accountability.Do you support #OpenNASS? Call 08139861001 or 08139861002

Aviation Crises

Passengers have slept at airports, not by choice; stranded in countries across West Africa & in London.Arik staff have gotten beaten up. Arik’s service to London cancelled for 5 days.Yet we have not heard anything from the Minister for Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and his Minister of State, Hadi Sirika. They are also planning to close the Abuja airport for 6 weeks in February, diverting traffic to Kaduna.Why are these two men playing deaf & mute?Are you a victim? Lodge a complaint.
