Institutions
Civic.ng
Work focused on improving civic information and the systems through which people and institutions understand governance.
The problem
Information about representation, legislation, and public institutions can be scattered across government websites and documents. That makes it harder to see who represents a place, what the National Assembly is considering, and how a public record connects to a decision.
Who it serves
Civic.ng is designed for Nigerian citizens and voters seeking a clearer view of representation and legislative activity. Its public records also support journalists, researchers, civil-society organizations, policy researchers, and organizations conducting civic education or public outreach.
What the public platform provides
Connected ways to inspect representation, legislative records, and location-based civic information.
Representative lookup
Start with a state and local government area to see the representative information available for that place.
Legislative records
Browse National Assembly order papers, bills, and member activity where the underlying public records are available.
Local context
Use state and local government area pages to connect civic information to a specific part of Nigeria.
The Civic.ng public ecosystem
The work is published through four related public services.
Civic.ng
Representation, National Assembly activity, bills, and local civic context.
Elections.civic.ng
Candidates, results, polling units, parties, election guides, and electoral-calendar information.
Budget.civic.ng
Nigeria’s federal budget from proposal through appropriation and published implementation records.
Resources.civic.ng
Resource-ledger comparisons and simulations presented with their modeling context.
Evidence and coverage
Source provenance
Representative and legislative records draw on Nigerian National Assembly and INEC sources. Imported records can remain labelled for review, and records can be flagged when sources disagree. Read the Civic.ng transparency notes.
Published records
Legislative vote and attendance coverage depends on official roll-call records that can be published and matched. The public site identifies this coverage as partial.
Location matching
State and local government area lookup is broadly available. Exact House of Representatives matching is shown only where ward-level coverage has been reviewed, and some local officeholder records remain incomplete.
Election information
Election dates and deadlines should be checked against the latest official INEC timetable.
Budget figures
Some budget totals are marked for normalization against signed appropriation acts and should be read with their source notes.
Modeled information
The resources service labels its calculations as simulations and modeled estimates, not economic valuations.
