NewzCivil society organisations in Nigeria have formally demanded the immediate withdrawal of a proposed foreign aid bill currently under legislative consideration. The groups argue that the legislation poses a significant threat to the operational environment for non-governmental entities within the country.
Proponents of the withdrawal contend that the bill could restrict civic space and increase risks for human rights defenders. The organisations are calling for the legislative process to be halted to prevent potential infringements on the activities of civil society.
