Abstract

The legislature plays important roles of domesticating and monitoring the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and as well, ensuring that government is accountable to the public for national progress on them. These hallowed responsibilities require that legislators are in constant communication and dialogue with the citizens they represent. E-parliament has been seeing to enhance the relationship between legislators and their constituencies, thus enhancing their democratic values. The study engaged a mixed method involving content analysis and case study design. Information were drawn through content analysis of the Nigerian National Assembly (NASS) website and literature search. The aim is to determine the accessibility, usability, and usefulness of the NASS website for citizens-legislature interactions to enhance inclusive governance. Results of the analysis reveal that implementation of e-parliament in Nigeria is still majorly at the stage of information provisioning with low supporting tools for interacting and consulting the constituents. The paper argues that, despite the numerous challenges being encountered in the application of ICTs tools, e-parliament is fundamental to reducing the wide gap between citizens and their representatives in Nigeria. With e-parliament, government’s policies and programmes and their implementation are in agreement with citizens aspirations and expectations which are considered pivotal to realizing SDGs in Nigeria.

尼日利亚的电子议会和选区代表

摘要

立法机关在将可持续发展目标(SDGs)纳入国内并对其进行监督方面起着重要作用,并确保政府对公众对国家在这些目标上的进展负有责任。这些神圣的职责要求立法者与他们所代表的公民保持不断的沟通和对话。电子议会一直在寻求加强立法者与其选区之间的关系,从而增强其民主价值。该研究采用了一种包含内容分析和案例研究设计的混合方法。信息是通过尼日利亚国民议会(NASS)网站的内容分析和文献检索获得的。目的是确定可访问性,可用性,NASS网站对公民与立法机关互动以增强包容性治理的作用。分析结果表明,在尼日利亚,电子议会的实施仍主要处于信息提供阶段,而与三方成员进行互动和咨询的支持工具却很少。该论文认为,尽管在使用信息通信技术工具方面遇到许多挑战,但电子议会对于缩小尼日利亚公民及其代表之间的巨大差距至关重要。在电子议会中,政府的政策和计划及其实施与公民的愿望和期望相一致,而公民的期望和期望被认为对实现尼日利亚的可持续发展目标至关重要。分析结果表明,在尼日利亚,电子议会的实施仍主要处于信息提供阶段,而与三方成员进行互动和咨询的支持工具却很少。该论文认为,尽管在使用信息通信技术工具方面遇到许多挑战,但电子议会对于缩小尼日利亚公民及其代表之间的巨大差距至关重要。在电子议会中,政府的政策和计划及其实施与公民的愿望和期望相一致,而公民的期望和期望被认为对实现尼日利亚的可持续发展目标至关重要。分析结果表明,在尼日利亚,电子议会的实施仍主要处于信息提供阶段,而与三方成员进行互动和咨询的支持工具却很少。该论文认为,尽管在使用信息通信技术工具方面遇到许多挑战,但电子议会对于缩小尼日利亚公民及其代表之间的巨大差距至关重要。在电子议会中,政府的政策和计划及其实施与公民的愿望和期望相一致,而公民的期望和期望被认为对实现尼日利亚的可持续发展目标至关重要。电子议会对于缩小公民及其在尼日利亚代表之间的巨大差距至关重要。在电子议会中,政府的政策和计划及其实施与公民的愿望和期望相一致,而公民的期望和期望被认为对实现尼日利亚的可持续发展目标至关重要。电子议会对于缩小公民及其在尼日利亚代表之间的巨大差距至关重要。在电子议会中,政府的政策和计划及其实施符合公民的愿望和期望,这些愿望和期望被认为对实现尼日利亚的可持续发展目标至关重要。
