SaharaReporters on Monday published the
phone numbers of Nigeria’s State governors on Facebook and Twitter as
part of its efforts to enhance governmental transparency and
accountability in the country.
By arming Nigerians with those contact
numbers, SaharaReporters hopes to foster greater interaction and
communication between voters and their State chief executives
Governors in Nigeria enjoy some of the
highest salaries in the country while their constituents and civil
servants often struggle to make ends meet.
It was recently revealed, for example,
that 26 States owe workers’ salaries, despite bailout funds received
from the federal government just a few months ago.
Nigeria governorship aspirants have
often campaigned on promises to improve infrastructure, education, and
livelihoods of their constituents, but rarely deliver on those promises
once they are in office.
In April, SaharaReporters published the direct lines of members of Nigeria’s National Assembly.
