	NIGERIAN YOUTHS !!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT? YOU DESERVE TO KNOW THE FUNCTIONS OF YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT! The Coalition for Issue-based Politics and Good Governance (CIPOGG) is planning to host a series of town hall meetings ahead of the Lagos State local government elections. These meetings are aimed at promoting awareness and understanding of the functions and responsibilities of the local government in candidates and voters, and encouraging peaceful citizens’ participation in the voting process. As one of CIPOGG’s main principles of consolidating good governance involves civic education we have developed these town hall meetings as opportunities for ordinary Lagosians to contribute in the search for solutions to many of the issues that affect our daily lives and are hindering the state’s sustainable development. These meetings are aimed to provide a platform for citizens especially the youth to examine the candidates’ manifestoes and provide their own perspective on what needs to be done in their communities. Lets work together to strengthen the capacity of ordinary citizens especially the youth to fulfil their civic duty through participation in public debates, the act of voting, and expression of opinion between and during elections.
