Lapai TV, BudgIT Partner to Strengthen Civic Journalism, Accountability

Lapai TV has entered into a partnership with BudgIT to strengthen civic journalism, public project monitoring and citizen engagement in Lapai and across Niger State.

The partnership will support Lapai TV’s reporting on government-funded projects and public infrastructure, with emphasis on providing citizens with verified information on project implementation and service delivery.

As part of the collaboration, Lapai TV will use its digital platform to amplify community concerns and report on projects in areas including roads, water, healthcare, education and other public interventions.

The partnership is expected to deepen public-interest reporting by connecting community-level information with civic technology and data-driven journalism.

BudgIT is a civic organisation known for promoting transparency in public finance and encouraging citizens to participate in governance and demand accountability.

For Lapai TV, the collaboration strengthens its focus on community-based reporting and the use of technology to improve public access to information on development projects.

The partnership is expected to contribute to more informed civic participation and stronger reporting on public projects across the communities covered by Lapai TV.
