Natural Resource Governance and Eiti Implementation in Nigeria Abutudu, M. and Garuba, M. Natural resources, Governance, Corruption, This Current African Issue analyses EITI implementation and the increasing pressure for results in the face of the validation of Nigeria’s efforts at transparency and accountability within the context of natural resource governance in Africa. It focuses on three interdependent dimensions of possible interactions and synergies of the EITI mechanism in Nigeria: accountability for revenues from oil and gas as directly linked to government institutions, public policies, mechanisms, aid programmes; the demand side of accountability in terms of the role of civil society; and transparency and anti-corruption processes as they involve the actual practices of public and private companies, including negotiating and implementing ministries, departments and agencies. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of the Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), one of the earliest EITI initiatives to be instituted in Africa, and focuses on the oil and gas industry in Africa’s largest hydrocarbon producer.
