Kogi Conducts Census of Registered NGOs, CSOs
Category: Kogi News
Senior Special Adviser to Kogi Governor
on Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Barr Yusuf Abdul on Tuesday
said the State Government is collating names of registered NGOs and
Civil Society Organisations (CSO) working in the state.
The data capturing of the organisations, according to him, is with a
view to identifying genuine ones and to increase their level of
collaboration with government in the delivery of Good Governance to the
people.
Abdul in Lokoja, the Kogi state capital
said identification and collation of organisations were conducted by his
office in collaboration with the state Ministry of Women Affairs and
Social Development.
The SSA said the exercise became
necessary in view of the great roles Non-Governmental and Civil Society
Organisations play in driving the economy to exploit the resources
maximally for the benefit of the people.
“Those outside government who are
not feeling the impact of government immediately should feel the impact
through the civil society organisations that are also in partnership
with government.
“The government is interested in making
sure that the CSO groups in the state are galvanized together to form a
partnership where we can have a synergy to drive the economy of the
state”, he said.
He however hinted that government would
soon establish an agency for Civil Society and Community Development to
coordinate the activities of the organizations with a view to supporting
and enhancing their community development programmes.
The agency, according to him, will be
such that would provide guidance to organizations and individuals on
collaboration for attainment of goals and possible ways to access
government partnership.
Abdul said it would be unfair for CSOs
to be unnecessarily antagonistic of government rather than seeing
themselves as partners in the development and assured that government
would not exploit the agency to meddle in their affairs.
