Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has said the government is presently in the process of building an app that will enable Nigerians lodge complaints and report non-performing agencies in the country.
Prof Osinbajo made the statement at The Platform on May Day and said citizens can now report directly to the government perceived grievances through the Nigeria Complaints Mobile App.
He said this will further enhance the relationship between the government and the citizens.
TheNewsGuru reports the government of Lagos state launched a similar app in February.
The Lagos state government app dubbed Citizens Gate enables Lagosians reach out conveniently to the government of the State with feedbacks for good governance.
“The platform is designed to promote communication and connectivity between citizens and government while it will also enable citizens to inform the government on problems and issues occurring in their areas, communities and beyond,” Lagos state commissioner for Science and technology, Olufemi Odubiyi, said at the launch of the Citizens Gate app.
The Lagos state Citizens Gate app, which is about 1.6MB in size has a segment for feedback; a segment that contains all ministries, departments and agencies websites; a segment for online payments for State services and a segment that contains local government and local council development area addresses.
Although Prof Osinbajo did not reveal any further details concerning the developers of the Nigeria Complaints Mobile App or when the app will launch, he said Nigerians have the right to quality services.
