(CITIZENS EMPOWERMENT)
One of the most fundamental tenets of democracy is access to information. Access to information on the part of citizens is the foundation of their empowerment. Without relevant information, they would be unable to form intelligent opinions and their capacity to contribute meaningfully to pertinent issues would be impaired. It is the intention of the G3 to keep all Nigerians informed all issues.
Access to information by citizens is also a crucial tenet in the drive for openness, transparency and accountability which are central to good governance and help justify government imperatives in public administration.
Mobile devices like GSM phones provide important channels of information, in addition to other information made available on websites and portals, as well as on television. The various sources and channels of information available help to empower the citizens and facilitate inputs to political decision making and indeed, democratic participation.
