Job at Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI): Publication Officer

The Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) is mandated by law to promote transparency and accountability in the management of Nigeria’s oil, gas and mining revenues. A major component of the on-going anti-corruption reform in Nigeria, it is the national version of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), which is a global movement aimed at ensuring that extractive resources aid sustainable development.
NEITI was inaugurated in February 2004 by former President Olusegun Obasanjo when he set up the National Stakeholders Working Group (NSWG) under the leadership of Mrs Obiageli Ezekwesili. The NSWG oversees the activities of NEITI and is made up representatives of government, extractive companies and civil society. Among others, NEITI commissioned the first comprehensive audit of Nigeria’s petroleum industry for the period 1999 to 2004 and is working with various stakeholders to build national consensus on the need for extractive revenue transparency in Nigeria.
To give legal backing to the work of NEITI, a bill was introduced to the National Assembly in December 2004. The NEITI Bill was eventually passed and harmonized by the two chambers of the National Assembly and subsequently signed into law by former President Obasanjo on May 28, 2007. With this, Nigeria became the first EITI-implementing country with a statutory backing for its operations.
