“It also helps bridge the gap between them, fostering better relationships to hold government officials accountable and ensure leaders fulfill their obligations to the electorate,” she said.
She stressed the necessity for collaborative efforts in tackling societal issues.
Corroborating, Sadiq Mustapha, another program lead of Gidan Yanci said there is a need for the media to provide platforms for CSOs to amplify their voices and initiatives.

He urged leaders to engage at the grassroots level to understand the social issues affecting the masses and aimed for a society free from such problems.
