A socio-political group, Enugu State Citizens for Equity and Good Governance (ESCSEG), has advocated citizen’s participation in governance as a panacea to solving the security challenges plaguing the country. State Coordinator of the group, Comrade Onyendozi E. Onwe, stated this yesterday in Enugu during the official opening of the state office/inauguration of the state executive. “The direct participation of citizens in the governance process remains a panacea. Onwe also added that the current security challenges across the country were traceable to decades of negligence and bad governance by successive governments at all levels. Onwe said that in the drive to promote good governance in Enugu State, the group has initiated discussion with three civil society organisations to convoke a summit on “The Role of Citizens in Good Governance”.
