PAACA Criticizes Nigeria's Definition of "Democracy Dividends"
The Peering Advocacy and Advancement Centre in Africa (PAACA) has expressed concern over Nigeria's interpretation of "democracy dividends," urging the government to provide more substantial benefits to its citizens.
-
Beyond Basic Infrastructure: PAACA emphasizes that achievements like road construction and salary payments should not be the sole indicators of democratic success.
-
Call for Comprehensive Development: The organization advocates for a broader approach that includes improved healthcare, education, and economic opportunities for all Nigerians.
-
Accountability and Transparency: PAACA urges the government to ensure that democratic gains are equitably distributed and not limited to infrastructural projects.
This statement comes amid ongoing discussions about the true benefits of democracy in Nigeria. While infrastructural developments are visible, many Nigerians feel that essential services like healthcare and education have not seen proportional improvements.
Citizens and civil society organizations have echoed PAACA's sentiments, calling for a more inclusive definition of democracy that goes beyond physical infrastructure to encompass social and economic well-being.
