… tasks citizens, CSOs and Media to leverage the portal for participatory governance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BudgIT Foundation, a civic-tech organisation leading the advocacy for fiscal transparency and accountability in Nigeria and three other African countries, has launched the FixOurOil website, a platform that provides citizens, CSOs and the media with insights and data on the prevailing issues in the extractive industry to advance advocacy in Nigeria\u2019s natural resource governance and sustainability.<\/p>\n

According to the organisation, “historically, The Nigerian extractive industry has functioned as a pander used to cushion the needs of very few highly placed in the society. This has not only disrupted transparency in the sector, it has also resulted in limited resources for revenue generation and limited job opportunities for the citizens. This is not ideal for the operational activities of the oil and gas industry; thus, it is expedient for citizens to demand for a more effective resource governance in the sector using information uploaded on this platform.<\/p>\n

“Likewise, data on this portal can be leveraged to improve the advocacy for beneficial ownership reforms, reforms within Nigeria\u2019s State-Owned Enterprises, the review of legislatures governing the oil and gas sector, and the promotion of accountability in the revenue generation Extractive Industry.”<\/p>

“The platform also serves as a repository for BudgIT\u2019s latest infographics, policy briefs, interactive videos, blog posts on the extractive industry, progress tracker for the Open Government Partnership (OGP) initiative and Petroleum Industry Act Implementation, as well as data segments that consist of simplified NNPC data from their monthly financial and operations reports.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThis platform is advantageous for everyone. Users can access the latest information on the oil and gas sector, such as data on the number of barrels produced for a particular month, and sales, and loss accrued as a result of theft and operational accidents\u201d,Gabriel Okeowo, BudgIT\u2019s Country Director, Nigeria added.<\/p>\n

BudgIT further urged citizens, CSOs, and the media to leverage the website for easy access to simplified data to amplify the need for transparency and accountability in the extractive industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
