 *

Civic participation plays a vital role in strengthening democratic societies by encouraging active participation and collective action.


Understanding these categories can inspire individuals to become more actively involved in their communities and contribute to the betterment of society.


Why is Civic Engagement Important?


📢 Public Accountability: Civic engagement acts as a check on power and promotes public accountability. When citizens actively participate in political processes, such as voting in elections or engaging in policy advocacy, they hold elected officials and institutions accountable for their actions. This accountability helps ensure that decisions are made in the community’s best interest and that the people’s voices are heard.


📢Enhanced Public Policy: Civic engagement plays a crucial role in shaping public policy. Through activities like lobbying, running for office, or participating in public consultations, individuals can influence the development and implementation of policies that address societal issues. When citizens actively engage in political processes, policy decisions become more inclusive, reflective of diverse perspectives, and better aligned with the needs and aspirations of the community.

A Clarion Call to the Honorable Minister of Works and the Federal Government of Nigeria

However, we find it imperative to draw urgent attention to the deplorable condition of Federal roads within the Ekiti and Oke-Ero Local Government Areas of Kwara State.
