N32.4m was allocated to the Reconstruction and Remodelling of the Maternal and Child Complex and Female Psychiatric Ward at the Federal Psychiatric Hospital, Maiduguri, Borno state.
We confirmed that this project has been completed.
We'll start...
This is Obite community primary school in Etche LGA, Rivers state and it has been abandoned for over 10 years.
Children whose parents cannot afford private schools are either going to the farm or learning a trade.
Some parents have sent their children out of the community just to attend school in another community, subjecting little children to hours of travel just to access education.
Dear Mr Governor @SimFubaraKSC, Hon @honkelechinwogu, and Hon. Chima Boniface Njoku, The children of Obite community deserve access to quality education!
We ask that you priortize the reconstruction of this school.

N16.6m was allocated to the Installation of Solar-powered Street lights at the Federal Psychiatric Hospital, Maiduguri, Borno state.
Only 15 streetlights were installed and 4 of them are already faulty.
We call on @FedRoadsNGR, the implementing agency, to provide details of how funds disbursed to this project was used and facilitate the repair of the faulty streetlights.
Under the PACE project, we tracked several climate related projects in Borno state.
N17.9m was allocated to the Solar-powered Borehole project at the Nigeria Arabic Language Village, Ngala, Borno state.
We did not find this project anywhere on site.
We call on @FMWNIG, the implementing agency, to provide the public with details and facilitate its execution.
🗣️ Dear Citizens,
On December 19, 2025, a promise was made. By March 31, 2026, all capital liabilities from previous years would be cleared, and Nigeria would move to a single, clean budget cycle.
No overlaps. No rollovers.
Now, look at the date again. March 31, 2026 has passed. So, what happened to that promise?
Are all capital liabilities from previous years fully funded and closed? Are we truly operating on a single budget cycle today?
If not, what does that mean for transparency, planning, and accountability?
And more importantly, what should citizens do when commitments like this are not clearly accounted for?
Do we move on, or do we ask questions?

In February 2026, we paid monitoring visits to several PHCs across Osun State.
Oke Otubu, Oke Bola Modakeke, and Oloyede PHCs are currently in poor and dilapidated conditions despite their years of existence.
These communities have repeatedly called for local government interventions but till date, nothing has been done to imporve care across these facilities.
There are no medical equipment, proper infrastructure or sanitation facilities, and residents continue to use these facilities as their only source of medical care.
We implore the @NphcdaNG, @Fmohnigeria, and the office of Gov @AAdeleke_01, @Osun_State_Gov to prioritize the reconstruction of these facilities for residents to access quality healthcare.

“I wake up at 2am to fetch water and I still miss school.” Mary Danlami, a JSS 3 student in Rubochi cries!
In Kulo, survival comes before education.
This is Kulo community, under Kuje Area Council, FCT where access to clean water has become a daily struggle for over 3,500 residents. Residents depend on distant rivers, spending several hours trying to get water and even more (mostly futile) efforts, trying to purify the water.
The impact is severe. Some residents days without bathing due to the scarcity and people get sick and the sick get worse from drinking this water.
For children, the cost is greater. Many pupils are forced to miss school as they assist their families in fetching water.
Mary Danlami, a JSS 3 student in Rubochi, shared her reality with us:
“I wake up by 2am to go to the river with my mum. When I get there, I meet long queues. By the time I fetch water, it’s already 10am and school has started. I’ve missed tests and practicals because of this.”
In Kulo, the lack of water is not just an inconvenience, it is robbing children of their education, causing health issues, and straining quality of life.
Dear reps: Hon Abdullahi Sabo, Hon Abdulrahman Ajiya, Gov @GovWike, Sen @IretiKingibe, we ask that you prioritize the provision of clean water for Kulo community. A lot is at stake!
“Why should I fill a survey about Nigeria’s Federal Budget Process if my opinions might not count?”
Because when you don’t speak up, decisions are still made…just without you.
This survey is your chance to share what you think about how Nigeria’s federal budget works, how public funds are used, and what needs to improve. If it affects your life, your voice should be part of it.

Today's big Question; Where is the N129.5bn?
Nigeria’s last population census was conducted in 2006. Two decades later, the country still does not have updated data about how many people live here.
Yet between February 2022 and December 2023, we tracked that N129.5bn was paid for different activities related to the conduct of the truncated population census. So our simple question: Where did the money go?
Since March 2, 2026, we have written to the National Population Commission requesting clarification on how these funds were spent but till today, there has been no response.
However, our independent tracking has revealed that funds were spent on items such as:
• N118.38bn for Personal Digital Assistants and Accessories
• N2.47bn for Hilux vehicles
• N499.8m for power banks
• N106.19m for an e-recruitment portal
Yet Nigerians still do not know the full details, outcomes, or the current status of the census exercise. This is not just about numbers, without accurate population data:
📌 Children end up in overcrowded classrooms
📌 Hospitals and Primary Health Centres are under provided
📌 Governments struggle to allocate resources fairly
📌 Social programmes are designed with guesswork instead of evidence
📌 Development planning and representation suffer
Behind every statistic are real people whose needs are not properly counted, N129.5bn is public money and Nigerians deserve answers.
We call on the @Census2023 to publicly clarify these expenditures. We also urge @officialEFCC, @icpcnigeria and the @nassnigeria to take interest in this matter and ensure that public funds meant for the national census are transparently accounted for.
Because a country cannot plan its future without knowing its people.

New Voter Education Manuals Signal Fresh Push to Boost Participation Ahead of 2027 Polls
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), alongside key national and international partners, has launched the updated National Voter Education Manual and a youth-focused Civic and Voter Education Manual, in a renewed push to tackle voter apathy and strengthen democratic participation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In his welcome address, Mohammed Haruna, Chairman of INEC’s Information and Voter Education Committee, highlighted the steady decline in voter turnout since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999.
He noted that participation has dropped from over 60% in 2003 to below 30% in recent elections, stressing that while Nigerians may take the right to vote for granted, many lack the knowledge or motivation to exercise it effectively.
Haruna explained that the manuals were developed in collaboration with the Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI) to both educate citizens and encourage greater electoral participation.
Delivering the keynote on behalf of INEC Chairman
Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, National Commissioner Malam Haruna warned that voter apathy remains one of the biggest threats to Nigeria’s democracy.
He pointed to data from recent elections showing a widening participation gap, where a minority determines leadership for the majority.
The Commission reaffirmed that the Electoral Act 2026 strengthens transparency through improved legal frameworks and electronic processes but emphasized that laws alone cannot solve disengagement.
“An indifferent electorate is a democracy in retreat,” the keynote stressed, calling for sustained civic education to rebuild trust and participation.
Many Nigerians see the flames in the Niger Delta but don’t know the real cost behind them.
For decades, gas has burned across the region, affecting people’s health, environment, and livelihoods.

#AskQuestion
🚨 N783.78m for Ogun School Projects But No Classrooms on Ground
Dear Dr Paul Onuoha,
On two different occasions, we attempted to submit a letter requesting clarification on how N783.78m disbursed for the listed classroom projects in Ogun State schools has been spent.
1. Methodist High School (304.07m)
2. St Peter’s College (Junior) (303.63m)
3. Abeokuta Grammar School (Junior), Idi Aba (178.08m).
Both times, we were told “there is no one available to receive the letter, come back next week.”
Our request is simple and in the public interest "Where are the funds and where are the projects?"
Our field tracking visits to the school locations as at today show no construction, no contractor presence, and no sign of project implementation despite the disbursement.
These are public funds meant to improve learning conditions for Nigerian students, and citizens deserve transparency on how they are spent.
We call on you and the management of Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology to receive our letter and provide clear information on the status of these projects and the funds disbursed.
Public accountability should not be this difficult.
@officialEFCC and @icpcnigeria, we are calling your attention to immediately investigate these transactions, verify the status of the projects on ground, and hold all responsible parties accountable where public funds have failed to deliver the intended impact. Nigerians deserve transparency, and every naira allocated for public projects must translate into real value for citizens.
FYA; @OGSG_Official, @DapoAbiodunCON
