Citizen asking their elected representatives question at the grassroots engagement
The program gave participants the opportunity to ask their elected officials questions relating to their stewardship in office. Questions raised cut across issues such as poor implementation of the Cleaner Lagos Initiative in Surulere Local Government, the poor state of some inner and link roads, duties and responsibilities of their councillors, most of whom they claimed have not fully been active in office. The councillors were each given time to address the questions posed to them, as well as account for their time in office and what they have achieved so far, with tangible and trackable achievements.
