Why We Must Pass Bill To Regulate NGOs, CSOs – House Of Reps

The House of Representatives on Friday restated its determination to pass a bill to regulate non-governmental organisations, NGOs.

Several Nigerians including the former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Chidi Odinkalu, have criticised the bill describing it as unnecessary. Such critics say there are already enough existing laws that only need to be implemented and that the bill was designed to muscle NGOs and civil society organisations, CSOs.
