Igbo traditional system of government encouraged participation through town assembly. The town assembly was the highest decision-making body in Igbo communities, where all adult members were allowed to participate. The assembly served as a forum for debate, discussion, and decision-making on issues of common interest. Any member could bring up an issue for discussion, and decisions were reached through consensus, with the elders playing a significant role in facilitating the process. This participatory approach ensured that all members of the community had a say in the affairs of the town, promoting inclusiveness and accountability.
