Initiative for Good and Informed Citizenship (IGIC) – Rescue Nigeria

Finances and accountability

We demand accountability. So we start with ours.

An organization that asks government to open its books must open its own. Here is how we plan to use every naira you give — and the standards we hold ourselves to.
