INTRODUCTION

Three years ago, the Nigeria Network of NGOs (NNNGO) started a remarkable journey of protecting and improving the regulatory environment for the work of nonprofits across the nation.

As we initiated this process, we sought to engage with regulators in an effective manner within a culture of mutual trust. We sought to explore through this relationship how best we can work with regulators to improve our field of play. Through this exploration, we developed an epoch making robust partnership with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in a way that history was made and cannot be ignored when it comes to civil society-government relationship.
