dc.description.abstractThe paper attempts to examine a long-drawn struggle for freedom of access to government information in Nigeria, led by three non-governmental organizations (NGOs) namely, Media Rights Agenda (MRA), Civil Liberties Organization (CLO) and Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ). The paper provides a background to the struggle and its objectives. The paper concludes by analyzing the future prospects of the bill in a fledgling "democracy" that thrives on brazen disrespects of the law and pervasive impunity.en
