Muhammad Network Against Child Trafficking, Abuse and Labour (NACTAL) Nigeria has expressed its commitment to promoting responsible civil society practices and strengthening the capacity of its member organisations to contribute meaningfully to the protection of children and vulnerable persons. NACTAL reiterated this at a leadership retreat on civil society self-regulation in Nigeria, organised by the Ethics and Good Leadership Awareness Initiative (EGLAI) in collaboration with International IDEA, with funding support from the European Union. National President of NACTAL AbdulGaniyu Abubakar reaffirmed the network’s dedication to enhancing transparency, accountability, and good governance in Nigeria. He emphasised the importance of establishing credible self-regulatory mechanisms to strengthen public trust and promote higher standards of practice within the civil society sector. To maintain continuity and improve institutional cooperation between NACTAL and the civil society self-regulation initiative, the NACTAL President took the opportunity to formally introduce Comrade Osita Samuel Osemene, the President-Elect, to Mr. Harry Udoh, the Team Lead of EGLAI. Mr. Udoh commended NACTAL for its commitment to accountability, openness, and sound governance. By introducing his successor soon after the election, he also praised the outgoing National President for his leadership and for facilitating an early and seamless transition. He pledged to uphold the current cooperation and relationship between NACTAL and EGLAI. Comrade Osita Samuel Osemene, the President-Elect of NACTAL, expressed gratitude to the departing National President for the initiative and promised to continue it once he assumed office. He stated that he would reach out to the Board of Trustees, the recently elected National Executive Committee, and NACTAL member organisations upon his resumption on October 15, 2026, to initiate extensive discussions towards the formal adoption and implementation of the civil society self-regulation framework within the network.
