The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre(CISLAC)/Transparency International in Nigeria has expressed deep concern over the lingering socio-economic challenges that plagued the nation throughout 2024. The organization is urging the current administration to implement rapid and holistic measures to address citizens' plights and meet their expectations moving forward.
According to CISLAC/TI-Nigeria, the government's macroeconomic decisions in 2024 negatively impacted Nigerians' standard of living, financial capacity, and purchasing power. The organization feels duty-bound to draw the government's attention to several critical challenges that remain unresolved, requiring urgent policy intervention in 2025 to ensure sustainable development.
CISLAC/TI-Nigeria is calling on the government to take immediate action to address these challenges, including implementing anti-corruption laws, strengthening financial regulations, and adopting a holistic economic blueprint to address socio-economic challenges. The organization commends the 2024 Supreme Court judgment barring state governors from mismanaging funds meant for local governments and urges constitutional reforms to ensure financial and administrative autonomy for local governments
