Nigeria: President "ignores" Freedom of Information bill

In the aftermath of what observers called "seriously flawed" presidential elections in Nigeria, President Olusegun Obasanjo failed to sign into law a bill that would have strengthened his battle against corruption, reports Media Rights Agenda (MRA). President Obasanjo had 30 days to sign into law the much anticipated Freedom of Information Bill, which has been with Parliament since 1999 and was finally passed by both houses of the National Assembly this February.
