He used the avenue to appeal to state governors whose states have not signed in to Open Government Partnership (OGP) to do so without delay and reap the benefits of the concept.

Igbuzor said OGP is an international mechanism put in place to promote good governance, tackle corruption through openness and ensure citizens’ inclusion and participation in the running of government activities.

He said OGP is the best avenue to achieve good governance in Nigeria and commended states that have joined. He also lauded the states that have indicated their willingness to join OGP.

Journalists and civil society activists drawn from different parts of the country attended the meeting.
