Participants observed that lack of enough ethics and integrity in the activities of the Civil Society Organization and Media has been creating a big vacuum in the acceptability of the service they render.

They further observed that the “INEC in the just concluded 2023 elections, has not improve on Ethics and Integrity, despite the improved provisions in the 2022 Electoral Act.

“That the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) are not doing enough in the promotion of Ethic and Integrity.

The communique said the participants drawn from civil society organisations, media, women groups, religious organisations, youth groups among others stressed the need for stakeholders to work for more participation of Nigerians in democratic governance.

They recommended that the Civil Society Organisations be encouraged to work for popular participation, so as to increase democratic legitimacy because of their link to the citizens

They also urged greater accountability of public bodies or institutions between different community and social groups.

“The workshop urge Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to intensify their activities and apply ethics and integrity, to encourage voice and participation in core value, that promote Democratic Principles, Good Governance, Electoral Integrity and legitimacy

“Encourage at all political level, that political process or institutions must respect freedom of thought and association.

“The Media as the fourth Estate of the ream, as provided in section 22 of the 1999 as amended, were encourage to air and produce views, commentaries and information to enhance National Ethics and Integrity.

“To report issues of public interests in fair, accurate, unbiased, decent manner and language.

“Media were encourage to create products or programs which can enhance Ethics and Integrity.

“That stakeholders that comprises of Civil Society Organization (CSOs), Women Groups, Religious Institutions, Youth Groups etc should create a platform that will engage the governorship candidates in an open debate towards the 2023 November 11th Governorship election in Kogi State,” the communique said.

Participants at the workshop appreciated CHRCR and CISLAC for their consistency in the crusade against corruption and lack of probity with the continued support of John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.(vitalnewsngr.com)
