A major advantage of democracy is that it allows the people to make input on how they are to be governed.
The constituency projects approved for legislators enable the grassroots to have a feel of the action by deciding the type of development projects best suited for them.
In this special report, Correspondent Ndubuisi Ozoilo takes a look at the performance of the policy since its advent about nine years ago.

           TOBACCO FARMERS/HARDSHIP
 Farmers in tobacco leave growing communities in Oyo state want the Federal Government to liberate them from unfair and dehumanising practices by a major tobacco company.

Our correspondent, Ndubuisi Ozoilo, who was among the journalists, gives details of their findings.
