About NGtownhall

A national series of citizen townhalls where government information is explained, citizens are heard, and the issues raised are recorded, referred to the right institution and tracked in public.

NGtownhall is an initiative of the All Progressives Congress (APC). It is not a government programme and is not paid for with public funds.

Many people lack clear information about government programmes, and their experiences seldom reach decision-makers. NGtownhall aims to close both gaps and to publish what happens next.

No. There is no crowd mobilisation, no gifts or cash for attending and no campaign speeches. Independent moderators run the floor.

Taking Part

No. Everyone is welcome. Taking part does not mean you support any political party, and critical views are welcome.

Find your townhall on the schedule and choose "Request to Attend" once registration is open. If more people ask than there are seats, places are allocated fairly and you will be told either way.

Yes. SMS submission and paper question cards at events are planned. Details will be published once confirmed.

No payment or gift is offered for attending. Refreshments are provided.

Questions & Follow-up

Find your townhall on the schedule and choose "Ask a Question". You do not need to give your name.

Every question is recorded. Not every question can be answered on the day, but unanswered questions are grouped and answered in writing where possible.

No. Something is recorded as a commitment only when the responsible institution accepts it in writing.

Each townhall's report is published after the event, and referred issues appear on the public commitment tracker with their current status.

Privacy

No. Public reports use anonymised summaries, and your contact details are never shown on the tracker.

Only what we need. We never ask for your NIN, voter card number, party membership or political opinions.

Yes. Ask for the coloured lanyard at registration and you will not be photographed.
