Centre For Anti-corruption And Open Leadership, popularly known as “CACOL,” remained the best Non-Governmental organization that worked selflessly towards the progress of this great country despite some challenges.
Our correspondent, who looked into some activities rendered by the center, gathered that CACOL is making excellent advancements toward a better Nigeria, especially at present when the world is changing in leadership style and war against corruption.
The center, which achieved a lot in 2024, which we are now bidding farewell to, was very successful in organizing so many programs and events that are now becoming a channel to Nigeria’s development with optimum results.
It is gratifying to put it on the record that CACOL has done a commendable job by making the best use of its talented members to educate and enlighten the general public about leadership and the effects of corruption in Nigeria.
For a flashback, on October 10, 2024, CARACOL issued a press statement cautioning the Judiciary about the court orders hindering the fight against corruption and bringing out the bitter side of backing offenders from the courts, which was a great obstacle to punishing fenders.
In another development, CACOL, in collaboration with the Committee for the Difference of Human Rights (CDHR), similarly organized a stakeholder’s interactive roundtable on public policy making tagged ” Citizens accountab6 and Rights Forum (CARF) that discussed issues related to local councils autonomy, which was very much welcomed by the Nigeria6 citizens respectively.
Furthermore, the center was able to make a call to the warring sides of Rivers state to embrace peace and love one another as one family, which has opened another door of peaceful coexistence between the opposition and those in power that brought real peace and progress in the state’s political practices.
In another successful memo from CACOL, the organization issued another piece of advice to the federal government about the need to release the Kano minors arrested during the #endbadgovernance protests, which served as another success story for the center.
Although there is no time to bring every activity organized by CACOL for national progress, the center made another commendation to the Nigerian Senate for the passage of the RMAFC bill and called on the president to assent to the bill.
Other success stories from CACOL include the EFCC’s asset forfeiture success and how the center advised RMAFC to address derivation issues for our teaming youths to become anti-corruption agents, which will help to make Nigeria greater.
In this regard, the CACOL leadership, as well as its members, will continue to be remembered for their sacrifice, patriotism, and dedication toward the development of our fatherland.
