OurNigeria is an open-source civic tech platform built by a coalition of data scientists, journalists, and active citizens.

We consult government publications, election authorities, and independent civic and legal databases. These include INEC and State Electoral Commissions, EFCC and ICPC, TransparencIT’s Corruption Cases Database, and CourtListener. The sources section above explains what each publisher contributes and links to their records.

We update our database monthly as new FAAC allocations are published, and continuously as state and local governments release their budgets and implementation reports.

Data availability depends on what the government publishes. While FAAC and state budgets are generally available, granular ward-level project data is often missing from official records. We publish everything that is publicly accessible, but we also rely on citizens like you to submit and track projects in your locality.

You can flag any data point directly on the platform. Our verification team will review it against official records and update it if necessary.

Yes! All our datasets are open and available for download. You can export budgets, FAAC allocations, and project tracking data in CSV format.

Use the data to ask informed questions. When you see a project marked as 'funded' but abandoned in reality, you can use the contact details provided in the 'Know Your Leaders' section to reach out to your representatives.

Yes, OurNigeria is 100% free to use. We believe public data should be publicly accessible without barriers.
