By Ibrahim Kallamu
The Nigeria report of the 2020 Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) Sustainability Index funded by FHI360, International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) and USAID: implemented by Centre for Research and Documentation (CRD) has shown that Nigerian CSO’s viability has worsened in 2020 as the overall Nigerian CSOs sustainability index stands at evolving level.
This was revealed during the presentation of the 2020 CSO’s Nigeria report held at CRD’s conference hall in Kano, by the project convener Dr Umaru Ibrahim Yakubu.

According to him, a sustainable index report is being conducted at the end of every year and the outcome is disseminated in the following year hence the 2020 index report.
He also explained that the index measures the trends in CSO’s activities across seven dimensions which include; Legal Environment, Organizational Capacity, Financial Viability, Advocacy, Service Provision, Sectoral Infrastructure and Public Image.

The report has shown that CSO’s financial viability has dwindled which poses a threat to its sustainability in Nigeria. It also shows that the legal environment has been one major impediment that affects CSO’s sustainability in Nigeria as the index indicated a gap in it.
Similarly, the report shows that CSOs’ advocacy has improved as the index showed that CSOs attained enhanced sustainability in advocacy in 2020 despite the COVID-19 pandemic which affected various sectors of human endeavour.

Biafran Rebels Kill Cameronian Soldiers In Bakassi
Five members of Cameroon’s Rapid d’Intervention Battalions (BIR) were reportedly killed Friday morning, March 14, 2025, in the Bakassi Peninsula during an attack by Biafra separatist groups.
Sources close to the groups revealed that the assault was carried out by the Black Marine, the largest faction and the Dragon Fighter Marine afiliated with the Biafra Nations League (BnL).
“At around 6:00 am on Thursday, the group launched explosives, hitting their targets and neutralizing two warships,” the sources claimed.
This marks a violent resurgence months after the arrest of Simon Ekpa, with insiders citing lack of funds as a reason for the group’s previous inactivity.
Reacting to the attack, a source said, “The warships have been withdrawn. The situation is tense, and our men are fully back in action.”
BnL leader, Princewill Chimezie Richards said, “Biafra has come to stay in Bakassi not even Cameroon can stop us.”
