Coalition mobilises for transformative governance 

A coalition of trade unions and civil society organisations through the Campaign for Transformative Governance (CFTG) in Lagos State are mobilising stakeholders across the board to hold political leaders accountable for good governance and better welfare of the citizens.

This is a clarion call to build a better place for all citizens,” he said. Also, the General Secretary of Federation of Informal Workers Organisation of Nigeria (FIWON), Gbenga Komolafe, stressed that extreme inequality breeds poverty, insecurity, social injustice and many people living in desperation. He said the transformation citizens desire is to ensure society has wealth that is more equitably distributed.To address these challenges, he said society must be transformed, and this could be achieved when the working people are organised.
     
According to him, there is a need to build stronger trade unions and form social solidarity to engage power centres.“If we are not organised, we will continue to have more social vices decaying the society. We need to look at basic initiatives to organise societies for social transformation. The electoral process that has been bastardise must be transformed,” he said.
