Communique issued at the end of a Review Meeting with Energy Correspondents and CSOs on NEITI proces
Written by CISLAC   
Tuesday, 11 November 2008
We call on the National Assembly to abrogate section 1 of the Minerals and Mining Act 1999 which places ownership and control of all minerals in, under or upon any land in Nigeria, its contiguous continental shelf and all the rivers, streams and water courses throughout Nigeria in the Government of the Federation for and on behalf of the people of Nigeria; these provisions being oppressive and deprivative of communal right to ownership, should have no place in our statute books. Conversely, the Land Use Act be amended to allow ownership of minerals and other extractive resources in the hands of communities so that the communities can in turn pay tax and royalty to government, as it is done in the USA and other democracies.

Expanding the Campaigns on MGDs Implementation in Nigeria
Written by CISLAC   
Monday, 03 November 2008
In Nigeria for instance, where in spite of the enormous resources (both human and natural) that the country is blessed with, not enough political will is so far shown towards implementing the MDGs. And it is feared that if concerted efforts are not mobilised, achieving the eight MDGs goals may turn out to be a mirage.

It is a shame that the Human Rights Council in Nigeria’s presidency is doing nothing but furthering human rights violation on its innocent citizens.  This action shows that government is incapable of protecting the rights of Nigerians.

Anti-corruption groups vow continued pursuit of tainted former Nigerian State Governors
Written by CISLAC   
Tuesday, 21 October 2008
"There are three ways. One, is to have the political will from the central government. If the president is committed to fight against corruption, it is becoming to squarely deal with those who have looted the state. That is one issue. The second issue is for the international community to help us to ensure that all those who have been found guilty of looting the state or their local governments, or even at the national level, they should also impose sanctions on them. The third thing is the Nigerian people will consider to resist these leaders, even though the Nigerian government claims to have cleared those people. The Nigerian people have not cleared them, because they have been the ones who are the victims," he noted.
