CPC Press Release
1 June 2011
The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), as a political Party, hereby
expresses satisfaction on the signing into law the Freedom of Information (FOI)
bill. Undoubtedly, this opens a new vista into the ease of access of Information
for the engendering responsible democratic governance.
Whilst commending the outgoing legislature and President Goodluck Jonathan for the courage and forthrightness in bringing about this law, there is still a long
way to go in bringing about the needed stability that unfettered access to
information brings.
The current FOI law, as it is, can only provide the plank for future amendments
that shall give the true meaning to the Nation’s democracy and radical change
from the culture of impunity that had characterized our brand of democracy in
the past.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Rotimi Fashakin. (Engr.)
National Publicity Secretary.
