Public accountability means government officials must answer for their actions. Mechanisms: elections, legislative oversight, judicial review, auditor-general reports, free press, freedom of information.

Nigerian institutions: National Assembly committees, Public Accounts Committee, EFCC and ICPC (anti-corruption), ombudsman (Public Complaints Commission), Code of Conduct Bureau (asset declaration).

Challenges: weak enforcement, political interference, slow judicial processes, limited citizen awareness. Strong accountability requires both institutions and active citizen engagement. Democracy depends on accountability.
