Policies and strict regulations are narrowing the space for human rights and freedom advocacy in Nigeria. In this episode of the #MattersThatMatter podcast, we dive deep into the challenges and opportunities facing Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Nigeria. NNNGO Executive Director Oyebisi Babatunde Oluseyi and lawyer Tsema Ede explain the incidents and policies that threaten the enabling environment CSOs need to thrive. We also explore the monitoring system established by the Nigeria Network of NGOs (NNNGO) in 1992, which focused on human rights commitments on association, assembly, expression, and gender rights. Guests: Oyebisi Babatunde Oluseyi: Executive Director of the Nigeria Network of NGOs (NNNGO), renowned expert in civil society strengthening and global policymaking. Tsema Yvonne Ede: Lawyer and policy expert with two decades of experience, specializing in human rights defense, gender, and public policy implementation.
