The MacArthur Foundation has charged trade and Labour Unions in Nigeria to be actively involved in the fight against corruption in order to tackle the lack of accountability that had been a bane in the democratization and governance in the country.
Deputy Director of the Foundation, Mr. Dayo Olaide gave the task while speaking virtually on Thursday at a training organised by
Say No Campaign- Nigeria for Labour and trade union leaders in Uyo, Always Ibom state capital, entitled, “Capacity building: Deepening accountability efforts on government activities, Budget and Project”

The anti-graft agency, ICPC, has tasked Akwa Ibom residents to take more interest in monitoring constituency projects sited in their communities.
The ICPC Commissioner in Akwa Ibom, Shola Shodipo, said this in Uyo on Wednesday at a capacity-building workshop.
The workshop with the theme “Say No Campaign, to Deepen Local Oversight and Budget Tracking at the Grassroots Level” was sponsored by MacArthur Foundation.
Mr Shodipo told the participants that until they took ownership of constituency projects located in their communities, it would be difficult to monitor such projects.
