The Kaduna State Commissioner for Information and Culture, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, presented the state's interactive citizen-engagement model during the Arewa Media Summit held in Kano on Tuesday. Participating in a high-level panel titled "Government Citizen Accord: The Two Way Accountability Framework," the Commissioner detailed that effective public administration requires translating complex policies into local languages to encourage public feedback. The regional summit featured key national figures, including Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and the federal Minister of Information, Muhammad Idris Malagi.
The strategic communications framework aligns directly with Kaduna State’s existing commitments under the Open Government Partnership (OGP) policy—being the pioneer sub-national signatory in Northern Nigeria. By shifting from top-down announcements to inclusive, multilingual dialogue, the Ministry of Information and Culture aims to lower public skepticism and maximize civic participation in development programs. This approach ensures that local populations can easily track state spending, evaluate public service performance, and actively shape grass-roots policy implementations.
Emphasizing institutional openness at a national summit underscores the state executive’s reliance on transparency as a core tool for modernizing public administration. By formalizing bilingual and people-centered feedback loops, Kaduna State enhances its governance compliance and accountability ratings. This institutional framework strengthens collaborative governance between sub-national entities and the federal administration, building high public trust, minimizing policy execution friction, and fostering long-term social stability across the state.
