The future of justice is already taking shape.
From digital systems to artificial intelligence, technology is changing how we live. But what does that mean for justice?
In 19 days, we begin exploring the questions that matter.

Publicity – Access to Justice Parley 2026]
When national security is weak… where do your fundamental rights stand?
And can technology really speed up our courts without sacrificing fairness and justice?
These are not abstract questions.
They touch real lives — families waiting for justice, victims seeking protection, and citizens who just want the system to work.
That’s why the Public and Private Development Centre, PPDC, is bringing judicial leaders, legal experts, civil society, and everyday Nigerians into one room for the Access to Justice Parley 2026.
Theme: Balancing Security with Fundamental Rights — Terrorism, Technology, and Access to Justice.
Dates: Tuesday and Wednesday, 3rd and 4th November 2026.
Time: 9 a.m. each day.
Venue: Los Angeles Event Center, along Ahmadu Bello Way, Mabushi, Abuja.
Two days. One crucial conversation.
From talk to real, actionable reform.
Whether you are a judge, a lawyer, a tech innovator, or simply a citizen who cares about justice — this is your invitation to be in the room.
Register now at ppdc.org or follow @PPDCng on social media.
Access to Justice Parley 2026 — because justice delayed is not just justice denied… it is justice that never reaches the people who need it most.
Be in the room.

Our team returned to General Hospital Rigasa for a follow-up monitoring visit, hoping to see real progress on the new Accident & Emergency building.
On paper, the project was complete. But what we found on the ground tells a different story. While the structure stands,..

Accountability starts with asking questions and following the money.
Through the 2026 Budeshi Mini Grant, DEAN Initiative, with support from @PPDC_ng, is taking citizen-led monitoring a step further by tracking public projects in Gwagwalada and Bwari Area Councils.
From visiting project sites and documenting contract details to submitting Freedom of Information (FOI) requests for procurement and payment records, we are working to understand not just what government promised, but what is actually being delivered.
Because public projects are funded with public resources, citizens have every right to know how they are planned, implemented, and paid for.
We track. We ask. We document. We follow up.
That’s how everyday citizens can help make accountability part of how governance works.

Although ₦614.6 million was allocated for the construction of the 8.5 km road in 2016, our monitoring revealed that only about 6 km was constructed and residents reported that the contractor has been off-site since 2021.

A borehole is not successful because it was commissioned. It is successful when it still works months and years later.
Communities deserve more than ribbon-cutting ceremonies. They deserve water systems that are maintained, monitored, and built to last.

When access to information about public projects is denied, it erodes public trust, and every move by the government raises suspicion even if done in good faith.
Open governance starts with transparency.

PRESS RELEASE.
OSUN STATE GOVERNMENT GOES SILENT ON 332 BOREHOLES: URBAN ALERT DEMANDS PUBLIC DISCLOSURE AS STATUTORY DEADLINE LAPSES.
The @Osun_State_Gov, acting through its Ministry of Water Resources and the Osun State Public Procurement Agency, has failed to respond to formal Freedom of Information requests concerning the 332 boreholes it publicly claims to have delivered to communities across the State between 2023 and 2024.
Urban Alert, a civic accountability organisation and the implementing body of the WATERTIGHT project, submitted the requests to both offices on 27 April 2026 under the Freedom of Information Act, 2011. Section 4 of the Act obliges every public institution to release requested information within seven days. That statutory window closed weeks ago, and not a single document has been produced.

Excellent initiative. We are proud to be one of the recipients of this important support. Thank you, PPDC and Budeshi.

Public funds deserve public accountability.
Every borehole funded with citizens' money should be traceable, verifiable, and functional.
Citizens have the right to know how public resources are spent and whether they deliver the promised impact.
