Onosode Leads Corporate Nigeria on
Freedom of Information Roundtable
Lagos, Sunday, April 21, 2002:
Boardroom specialist, Mr. Gamaliel Onosode, will lead corporate Nigeria as
the business community explores ways of strengthening the advocacy team of
the Freedom of Information Bill.
The Bill, which is currently receiving the scrutiny of the
House of Representatives, seeks to give a legal right of access to
information at the public domain to citizens. The House of
Representatives committee on information in October 2001 held a public
hearing on the bill. The event was intended to receive input into the
Bill as a basic requirement by the House. Promoters of the Bill believe
its passage will bring transparency and accountability to bear in the
conduct of government business.
The proposed Business Roundtable will have in attendance
many private sector operators. It is expected to be highly interactive
and will seek ways in which the business community can promote and support
the passage of the Bill into law, which is believed would have significant
positive impact on business ethics.
The roundtable scheduled for May 8, 2002, takes place at
the CAPL Training Centre along Adeniyi Jones Avenue in Ikeja.
