Niger Delta FOI compliance crisis: 177 of 180 requests unanswered

A new assessment ranks Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Ondo, and Rivers among the worst performers in the Niger Delta for Freedom of Information compliance, with 177 of 180 requests unanswered. This indicates systemic failure in public disclosure across the region, undermining transparency and accountability. The ranking highlights a governance deficit that could affect investor confidence and civil society oversight.
