About Us


We are determined to help make the system work for all. This system is full of exploitation, division and sad injustice .There is lack of Social Accountability. People are tired of engaging the government only during the next elections. After the elections, 'the business of government is now for small political elites' and their sponsors.

 The State and Local governments do not publish budgets, so that they can spend at will.
People don't even know how much constituency funds alllocated to them and collected on their behalf by their representatives.

We will seek to publish revenue allocation data and use citizen-generated data to help monitor development progress, demand accountability and advocate for transfomative change.

 All citizens should have free and open access to information about how their society operates, at national, regional and local levels, so that governments can be scrutinised and held to account"- Open Knowledge.

We are now featured on some of the world's best media including: Trendhunter(http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lead-project-foundation),UK,

This is a great recognition. We thank them for recognising that we're doing a great job.

We must never be afraid to speak the truth to power.  "Change happens when we decide what we want, rather than what we think we might get"-George Monbiot.

 Opportunist politicians have destroyed our democracy and made lives difficult for ordinary people. "As long as people think there has been an injustice there will be a problem"-Jason Burke

 We want to make sure that people are well-informed about our fragile democracy by holding the powerful to account without fear or favour using this beautiful space; one of the best inventions by man. You can imagine life without the internet.

'Engaged citizens gain skills and contacts that help them succeed in other aspects of their lives'-SSIR

We will strive to equip those who care to know with the real facts, information and informed analysis to help them make informed choices and how to dialogue with their elected leaders for good service delivery.

We have emphasised the need for a new Nigeria built on a shared value and shared identity to lift ordinary people out of poverty. A new society that ensures greater freedom, greater inclusiveness and human flourishing.

 One way this can happen is to give States, LGAs sufficient autonomy over 'policy and budget', this will help them align with local businesses and civil society to achieve greater economic growth.
