Open Parliament: The House of Representatives Misses Deadline to Develop an Interactive Website

In recent years, campaigns by different Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) globally have focused on championing open and transparent governance across all tiers of government. This has become important as citizens continue to find viable ways of holding elected public officials accountable as the debate about inclusive democracy deepens. The 10th Assembly of the Nigerian House of Representatives has also recognised this and has pledged to advance an 'Open Parliament' where citizens follow through the activities of the parliamentarians online from different parts of the country.
