Also speaking, the deputy chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Reform of Government Institutions, said that the enactment of the FoI Act took Nigeria into a global reckoning as one of the countries in the world to embrace freedom of information legislation, even as he urged the ministry to speed up the implementation of the Act.
“I enjoin the ministry to serve as a catalyst for the speedy implementation of the FoI Act by designing a template for itself and other ministries, departments and agencies on how to use ICT tools for the promotion and implementation of the Act,” he said.
