The Board of Trustees has approved the setting up of a membership unit known as Society-Watch. BOT also appointed Comrade Emeka Umeagbalasi to serve as the Unit’s Lead-Director or Executive Director so as to ensure strict adherence to the Organization’s aims and objectives and general supervision. A body of elected officers governs the Society- Watch. The following offices were approved for the Unit: National Director, Deputy National Directors for Southeast, South-south, Southwest, Northwest, Northeast and North-central geopolitical zones of Nigeria.

Others are: National Deputy-Director, National Secretary, National Deputy-Secretary, National Director of Research & Documentation, National Director of Legal Matters, National Director of Finance and National Director of Public Affairs. These positions shall be duplicated at the Zonal, State, Local Government and Tertiary Institution’s levels in Nigeria as and when necessary. Similar positions shall be created at the International level when necessary. All the officers mentioned above and their administrative duties shall be subject to the Lead-Director/ED’s general supervision in accordance with the Constitution of Intersociety, the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 and the international human rights norms. When elected, their tenure of office shall run for a single term of four years. The office of the Lead-Director is not openly elective. Their governing bodies (Society Watch’s leadership) shall be known as National Governing Council, Zonal Governing Council, State Governing Council and Local Governing Council.

 Membership into the Intersociety’s Society-Watch is open to every Nigerian and non-Nigerian citizen irrespective of sex, origin, race, identity, ethnicity and culture so long as the requirements stated in the Society-Watch’s Membership Form are met. There are duties, rights and privileges accorded the members. Other rules and regulations not covered here are contained in the Intersociety’s Constitution. It must be pointed out that though membership is open, but those aspiring to be members must be of no questionable character and also must not have criminal records certified by courts or competent criminal investigative agencies within and without Nigeria.

Power Of The Board Of Trustees To Scrap Or Modify Society-Watch:

The Society-Watch is to be retained so long as Intersociety exists, but whenever its objectives are no longer met, such as when its leadership derails and goes outside the mandate of Intersociety or International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law, the Board of Trustees shall take preventive and proactive steps to save the Organization’s image. Such step shall include: scrapping or modification of the Unit. The decision pertaining to bestowing award of any kind on any individual or group solely lies with the Board of Trustees. No leadership hierarchy within the Society-Watch is allowed to dish out an award of any kind to any individual or group. During public elections, adoption, endorsement or support of any candidate by any of the leadership hierarchies within the Intersociety’s Society-Watch is disallowed and prohibited.
