Built by Nigerians,
for every Nigerian.
We started this because finding accurate civic information in Nigeria was frustratingly hard. Who is my senator? What LGAs are in my state? Which federal universities are in the North East? The answers existed — they were just scattered, outdated, or buried behind paywalls. We fixed that.
It started with a
simple question
It was JAMB season. A student asked a simple question on a WhatsApp group: “Who is the current governor of Nasarawa State?” Three people replied. Three different answers. One was the governor from two elections ago. Another linked to a Wikipedia page last updated in 2019.
It was funny and infuriating at the same time. Nigeria changes fast — cabinets are reshuffled, elections happen, senators defect, commissioners are appointed and removed. The information exists. It is public knowledge. But keeping it accurate and accessible? Nobody had really done that well.
So we built it. Not as a business plan. Not for venture capital. Because it needed to exist.
We started with governors and states, then added senators, ministers, universities, LGAs, civic quizzes and job listings. We check and update the data regularly. When readers spot errors, we fix them — usually within 48 hours.
“Civic information belongs to every Nigerian — not just those who know where to look.”
Make Nigeria’s civic data free, accurate and findable — for everyone.
Accuracy over speed
We would rather be a day late publishing a new appointment than publish the wrong name. Every entry is verified before it goes live. Readers help us stay honest — if something is wrong, they tell us.
Free, forever
No subscription. No premium tier. No login wall. JAMB candidates, researchers, journalists, civil servants, curious citizens — everyone gets the same access. That is non-negotiable.
Plain and findable
Civic information should not require a law degree to navigate. We write in plain English, structure pages so search engines surface them, and design for phones — because that is how most Nigerians browse.
One platform. Everything civic Nigeria needs.

We are a small, independent team. No investors, no board, no corporate overlord telling us what to publish. Just people who care about Nigerian civic life and know how to build things on the internet.
Some of us are from the north, some from the south. Some are developers, some are researchers, some are teachers who noticed their students were getting wrong answers from outdated sources. That frustration is what built this.
Verifying appointments, cross-checking names, reading official gazettes and government press releases so you don’t have to. The unglamorous backbone of everything you read here.
🔍 Accuracy firstBuilding and maintaining the platform — making sure it loads fast on a ₦500 data plan, works on a 4-year-old Android phone, and stays up even when a new exam season sends traffic through the roof.
⚡ Built for NigeriaHundreds of readers have sent corrections, suggested features, and pointed out data that needed updating. You are genuinely part of how this platform stays accurate. We read every message.
💌 Readers keep us honestWhat we believe
An informed citizen is a better citizen
When Nigerians know who their senator is, what their governor has done, and how government works — they ask better questions, hold officials accountable, and make better choices. That is why this platform exists.
Wrong information is worse than no information
A student who goes into WAEC thinking the wrong person is Nigeria’s Chief Justice loses marks. A researcher citing a reshuffled minister loses credibility. We are obsessive about accuracy because the cost of being wrong is real.
Civic knowledge should not be a class privilege
In Nigeria, access to good information often depends on where you went to school or who you know. This platform is our small attempt to level that. No paywall, no subscription, no premium tier.
We are proudly independent
We take no government money, no party money, and no advertiser money that would influence what we publish. If that ever changes, we will tell you clearly — and you should hold us to that.
