The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has knocked the National Assembly over the draft NGO Bill presently under consideration. The bill has in its provision an act to provide for the establishment of a Non-Governmental Organisations Regulatory Commission for the supervision, coordination, and monitoring of non-governmental organisations, civil society organisations and for related matters in Nigeria. Its Director-General, Mr Muda Yusuf, in a statement, warned that the proposition has far reaching implications for the advocacy roles and responsibilities of private sector bodies in the country.<\/p>\n

Revealing some of the provisions of the bill, it stated that all NGOs, national, local international, town unions, associations (etc) in Nigeria must register with the Commission and be licensed for a renewable period of two years.<\/p>\n

It further stated that all NGOs annual work plan and budgets must be approved by the Commission before implementation and that all assets including motor vehicles used to build the capacity of an NGO must be done through the Commission adding that all organisational vehicles must be branded even in crises prone areas.<\/p>
