CISLAC is a non-governmental, non-profit, advocacy, information sharing, research, and capacity building organisation. Its mission is to strengthen the link between civil society and the legislature through advocacy and capacity building for civil society groups and policy makers on legislative processes and governance issues. CISLAC was integrated as a corporate body (CAC/IT/NO22738) with the Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) on the 28th December 2006. Prior to this incorporation, however, CISLAC had actively been engaged in legislative advocacy work since 2005. The organisation is also compliant with the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2007. The organisation reports to SCUML, any transaction that is above One thousand dollars, detailing the payee, purpose and the other KYC (KnowYour Customer) requirements. This is done on a weekly or monthly basis depending on the volume of transactions and to ensure appropriate compliance with anti-money laundering laws.

For years, host communities and oil exploration companies in Nigeria have disagreed on how oil revenue should be used to protect the communities. The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), supported by Oxfam in Nigeria, organized a 3-day Stakeholder Dialogue in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, focusing on host community benefits under the Petroleum Industry Act. Host communities expressed concerns about the negative impact of oil exploration on their livelihoods, while oil companies stated that their efforts to assist these communities have been ineffective. As a result, several Global Memoranda of Understanding (GMOUs) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives have been introduced to address these challenges. Section 240 (2) of the Petroleum Industry Act was highlighted as key to balancing and safeguarding community interests. Auwal Ibrahim Musa Rafsanjani ... See MoreSee Less
