NNNGO gives Nigerians 4C's against Corruption.
Speaking at the recently concluded Grand finale and
Presentation ceremony of the Access Possibilities program,
the Nigeria Network of NGOs through its Trustee- Ms Yemisi
Ransome-Kuti has unveiled NNNGO's 4C's to national
development namely: Character, Commitment,
Capacity and Courage
In her keynote speech with the theme "MDGs# 1 fulfilling an
uphill vision", Yemisi noted that the attainment of MDGs#1
requires both individual and civic responsibilities through
holding governments at all levels accountable to their
promises while also speaking out against corruption.
She further stated that one of the major requirements for
meeting and exceeding the MDGs#1 in Nigeria is zero
tolerance against corruption, ethics and value
re-orientation, reform of the public sector among others.

Organizations (NCVO) in London

capable of assisting both organizations in their work and in
carrying their partnership forward.
