Tracka NG, a social platform that consists of active citizens tracking implementation of government projects has proffered five simple steps for more Nigerians to become active citizens.
For many years, Nigerians have wondered what the members of the national assembly and even the federal government have been doing with the resource of the country.
Many more have even lamented the fact that billions of naira are awarded for projects that never materialise but all that is about to end if more Nigerians get into the ‘Nigeria Business’.
