As part of its mandate to promote citizen’s engagement, popular participation and inclusiveness in governance in Nigeria, the Progressive Impact Organization for Community Development, PRIMORG, with the support from MacArthur Foundation has launched a radio programme to amplify corruption related investigative report.
A statement by the organisation’s Executive Director, Augustine Agbonsuremi said the programme which will also disseminated using the social media, seeks to de-emphasize unethical practices and address lack of accountability in Nigeria’s public and private sectors
Agbonsuremi said that the project underscored by the fact that corruption was identified as one of the greatest threats to democracy in Nigeria today.
He said: “During the two-year period of the project, PRIMORG will produce and air the radio programme, public conscience in select radio stations in Nigeria. The programmes will also be relayed on the various social media platforms.
“The flip side of the project is the identification of Nigerians and institutions that are daily resisting and saying no to corruption in their daily engagements in private and public lives. These individual and organisational corrupt-free efforts shall be highlighted to encourage Nigerians to do things right, and to emphasize that there are Nigerians who can be above board.”
