The European Union (EU) and Global Rights have reaffirmed their commitment to partnering with Nigeria to promote good governance, strengthen democratic institutions, protect civic space and encourage the meaningful participation of citizens in public life.

They stressed that an open and enabling civic space remains indispensable to democratic governance, sustainable development and accountable institutions.

Speaking on Monday in Abuja at the Global Rights End-of-Project Report and 2025 State Ranking Dashboard Launch for the Strengthening a Community of Practice to Improve the CSO Regulatory Environment in Nigeria project, the Head of Cooperation, European Union Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Massimo De Luca, said civic space in Nigeria, as in many parts of the world, continues to evolve in response to changing political, social and regulatory realities.
