Emmanuel Onwubiko
Emmanuel Onwubiko is the National Coordinator of the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), an organization dedicated to advocating for human rights and good governance in Nigeria. He has been vocal about the need for accountability in the use of public funds, particularly in oil-producing states, where he argues that substantial revenue inflows have not translated into adequate infrastructure development. Onwubiko has called for legal mechanisms to ensure that state governments justify the allocations they receive and fulfill their commitments to public welfare.
