Ex-Aviation Minister Seeks Access To Data, Information On Govt Activities

The former Minister of Aviation, Chief Osita Chidoka, has called for more access to information and data on activities of the various tiers of government.
Chidoka made the call in a statement issued by Mr Ikechukwu Okafor, his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity in Awka yesterday.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain said the information gap between government and the people is partly responsible for the country’s developmental challenges.
He said youths especially social media influence rs should deploy their energies towards enriching dialogue between government and the people by providing information on government’s policies available to them.
He said federal and state governments should emulate Rwanda where budget for the city of Kigali was made public with details of revenue and expenditure.
Chidoka regretted that no such information could be accessed in the official website of state governments including Anambra.
