Nigerians ought to participate in processes that determine and shape their future, particularly the younger generation of Nigerians, who form the bulk of its population. One of the seven values in Nigeria’s National Ethics and Integrity Policy is Voice and Participation, where “voice refers to the right to express an opinion and influence a decision, while Participation is an act of taking part in an activity or event. The Policy encourages people’s right to voice and participation.”

There are platforms like the Open Government Partnership, the National Business and Human Rights Roundtable, and the Nigeria Economic Summit Group however, the Integrity Organisation and the Convention on Business Integrity have been able to increase opportunities to participate in governance processes in Nigeria through various collective action projects that bring together stakeholders from government, business and civil society.
