CACOL launches LOP3, lauds Ambode’s achievement
The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, (CACOL), has commended the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for various achievements while launching the Lagos Open Parliament, LOP3‎, tagged ‘The Change We see’.
The event was held at the Right House, Ikeja, Lagos.
Speaking during the presentation and launching, Mr. Debo Adeniran, Executive Chairman of ‎CACOL said the LOP is a project targeted at monitoring government performance and policies.
The LOP, as a project of our coalition is basically a project targeted at monitoring government performance and policies, promoting transparency and accountability and enhancing healthy interface between the civil society and government in the overall interest of the development of Lagos as an entity.
He however said, the inaugural LOP which ‎was tagged ‘Lagos Open Parliament: True State of Lagos by Lagosians was held in 2012. It led to a number of claims made by the supporters of the then Lagos state government.
“Our coalition published our findings in 2012 in the first edition which we tagged ‎’Lagos Open Parliament, LOP 1′ in 2014 and have ever since continued to monitor Lagos State government’s activities periodically. “
Adeniran‎ noted that, “Like the previous ones, LOP3 is the product of several months of exhaustive research on the activities of the incumbent Governor of Lagos State Akinwunmi Ambode’s government. It is intended to be a record of leadership impacts and the public perception on the government from the time of asumption of office on may 29, 2015 to May 29, 2016.”
“The ideas of focusing on government’s activities and coming out with this publication in a book from, is hinged on resolve by the coalition to encourage an all embracing assessment of government performance in the area of socio-economic and infrastructural development as a means of bringing to a sharp focus the infrastructural development as a means of bringing to sharp focus the state of affairs in the state.”
“It is believed that by so doing, government will be able to feel the pulse of the people better, as well as having a means to accurately assess its level of performance.”Adeniran said
