Mundx Analytics
Mundx Analytics (the site calls itself "a Nigerian elections data and analytics company"; legal entity details not found)
Nigerian elections data platform that extracts results from INEC polling-unit result documents (EC8A) into public tabulation dashboards, source-linked evidence records and paid private 'election rooms'.
Show full audit
Data held
Polling-unit result values, metadata, timestamps and replacement history pulled from published EC8A result-sheet images, each linked to its source image. The site describes views at polling unit, ward, LGA, state and national level. Election hubs exist for 2027 presidential, governorship, Senate and House races, plus subdomains for Ekiti 2026 and Osun 2026. There is a public 2023 presidential map and an 'Aso Rock simulator'.
Historical coverage
2023 presidential (map and 'research-ready extracts'), 2026 Ekiti and Osun governorship, and 2027 general elections (upcoming). Nothing earlier than 2023 was observed.
Export options
The products page mentions public 2023 presidential 'research-ready extracts' (format not stated). Paid private deployments offer 'configured datasets' and 'scoped, timestamped evidence pack' exports. No public CSV or download link was seen.
API
None documented or found.
Methodology
https://mundx.com/method.html. Data comes from published EC8A forms, with a six-step validation: reconciliation flags kept visible; exclusion of over-voting, voter-ceiling failures and unusable documents; matching each form to state/LGA/ward/polling unit; detecting replaced images by fingerprinting; excluding illegible documents rather than guessing; and user reports checked against source records. States: "Only INEC declares."
Reuse terms
Not found. No terms or licence page was seen in the site navigation, and none appeared on the pages fetched.
Distinct capabilities
Replacement detection by image fingerprinting; integrity flags shown next to totals; paid products: broadcast result boards ('Mundx Broadcast'), situation rooms, a legal/petition workspace with timestamped evidence exports, and a campaign intelligence report.
Observed gaps
No documented API, licence or reuse terms. Public historical coverage seen covers only 2023 presidential and the 2026 off-cycle elections. Several capabilities (private rooms, evidence exports) are paid and require contacting the company. Media mentions (BusinessDay, Techawk, Vanguard) are claimed on the site but were not verified.
Relationship to OpenPolls
Overlaps with any OpenPolls results or tabulation feature. It could be linked as a third-party view of polling-unit results, but its data cannot be reused without explicit permission because no licence was found. It is also a possible partner if a data-sharing agreement is negotiated.
What was verified
Fetched: the homepage (twice), method.html, products.html and 2023-results.html. 2023-results.html returned only shell/navigation text, so the map content was not seen. Not fetched: the ekiti./osun. subdomains, the /elections/2027/* pages, contact and donate. Web searches for 'Mundx' returned no relevant results; the site was found by fetching mundx.com directly. The page summaries came from a fetch tool's summariser and are not full verbatim text.

NEIS (Nigeria's Election Intelligence Platform)
NEIS. It calls itself "an independent, non-governmental civic intelligence organization"; no legal entity name was found on the homepage, methodology or terms pages.
Independent, non-partisan platform for live Nigerian election results, polling-unit evidence, parallel vote tabulation (PVT), modelling of the Section 134 winning threshold, a civic opinion poll, and paid situation-room services for organisations.
Show full audit
Data held
The site claims 36 states + FCT, 774 LGAs, 8,809 wards and 176,846 polling units. Data types: field-observer submissions (location-tagged, with media), citizen corroboration, and data from official portals, labelled with review statuses (Reported / Verified / Consensus Confirmed). Other pages: a 2027 civic opinion poll (/civicpolls), a Projection Lab (/simulate), candidate photos, and civic-agent coverage (/coverage).
Historical coverage
2026 Ekiti and Osun governorship elections; 2027 general elections (presidential, Senate, House) being prepared. Nothing earlier was observed.
Export options
No CSV or download option was found on the pages fetched.
API
The methodology mentions 'Public API & Embed Syndication' for civic organisations and journalists, and the support page lists 'Data / API / Webhooks' (callback URLs, HMAC-SHA256 signed POST webhooks). No public API documentation or endpoint was found.
Methodology
https://neis.ng/methodology. Five-tier collation pipeline (field observers, citizen corroboration, official portals). Observer credibility checks: distance from the registered polling unit, voter-credential format, identity token, profile completeness, network consistency, and 2FA. Each record moves Reported → Verified → Collation Rollup → Official Declaration boundary. Explicitly says its labels "must not be conflated with statutory INEC declarations". IReV is not named as a source.
Reuse terms
Terms at https://neis.ng/terms. No clauses on data reuse, scraping, intellectual property or licensing were found. Terms say: "Collation data shown here is unofficial, compiled from field observer submissions and public data feeds." Methodology cites the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.
Distinct capabilities
PVT-style collation from its own observer network; Section 134 scenario modelling; online civic opinion poll with anti-bot and token checks; webhook integrations; situation room for organisations. It claims '40K+ peak concurrent citizens' during the Osun collation (not verified).
Observed gaps
No legal entity name, data licence or public API documentation found. The opinion poll is a self-selected online poll (no sampling frame described on the page fetched). Coverage observed is limited to the 2026 off-cycle elections and 2027. Data is explicitly unofficial.
Relationship to OpenPolls
Overlaps with OpenPolls results tracking and especially polling/opinion features. Its civic poll is unweighted and self-selected, so it should not be cited as a scientific poll. It is a possible partner for observer evidence if licensing is agreed. No other product named 'NEIS' in Nigerian elections was found.
What was verified
Name resolved: 'NEIS' = 'Nigeria's Election Intelligence Platform' at neis.ng, found through a search result titled 'NEIS — Nigeria's Election Intelligence Platform' and a related X account @NEISNigeria (seen in search only, not fetched). No other Nigerian electoral 'NEIS' was found; earlier searches returned only general INEC ICT material. Fetched: homepage, /methodology, /terms, /civicpolls and /for-media (which returned support-page content). Not fetched: /privacy, /elections, /simulate, /coverage, /situation-room. Page content came via fetch-tool summaries. A separate site, elections.civic.ng ('Nigeria Election Data Hub'), appeared in search only and was not audited.

iReportINEC
Tap Initiative for Citizens Development, a Nigerian civic-tech NGO. Technical support from 6030 Technologies; launch reported with support from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the National Election Accountability Consortium (NEAC). It is NOT operated by INEC and no formal INEC affiliation was found.
Citizen-led election monitoring platform and mobile app for observers, party agents, CSO coordinators and journalists to submit GPS-tagged incident reports and polling-unit result sheets, which Tap's team verifies and publishes on dashboards.
Show full audit
Data held
Incident reports (voter-registration problems, campaign violations, election-day irregularities, violence, vote-buying) and polling-unit result sheets submitted by users. Claims coverage of 176,846 polling units in 36 states + FCT. Public dashboards for results and incidents are hosted at elections.ireportinec.org (live-updates and aggregation views).
Historical coverage
Launched 7 August 2026 (per a TechEconomy article). The site says it is 'Live for the 2027 election cycle'. No earlier cycles were observed.
Export options
None found.
API
None documented or found.
Methodology
The footer has a 'Methodology' link, but its URL and content were not retrieved. The how-it-works page says accredited observers submit through the app (works offline, syncs later) and "Tap's verification team reviews and confirms each submission" before data reaches CSOs, journalists and public reports.
Reuse terms
Not found. A Terms link exists and a Privacy Policy is at https://ireportinec.org/privacy-policy/, but neither was read for reuse clauses.
Distinct capabilities
Offline submission with automatic sync; passwordless sign-in with optional biometrics; GPS-tagged, encrypted reports; separate role tools for observers, party agents, CSO coordinators and journalists; covers pre-election incidents (registration, campaign violations) as well as election day.
Observed gaps
No API, export or licence found. The dashboard pages (elections.ireportinec.org) returned only the title 'iReport Workbench' when fetched, probably because they are JavaScript-rendered, so their contents were not observed. Data is crowdsourced and verified by the operator, not official. The name may lead users to assume INEC runs it.
Relationship to OpenPolls
A source of verified citizen incident reports, including campaign-violation and vote-buying data relevant to OpenPolls campaign and finance coverage. It could be a partner or linked source, but reuse needs explicit permission. OpenPolls should not label it an INEC product.
What was verified
Fetched: the www.ireportinec.org homepage, /how-it-works/, /about/, the elections.ireportinec.org aggregation page (title only) and the TechEconomy article. ireportinec.com does not resolve (DNS error). The Leadership and Arise articles were seen in search snippets only. App store URLs were taken from homepage links and not fetched. The /about/ page lists many partner and funder names (e.g. OSF, Yiaga Africa, CDD, PLAC, NDI, IFES, USAID); these may be Tap Initiative's general partners rather than funders of this platform, so treat them as unverified. Launch date and NED/NEAC support come from news coverage.

INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV)
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
INEC's official portal that publicly displays polling-unit result sheets (Form EC8A) uploaded from polling units by presiding officers using the BVAS device.
Show full audit
Data held
Images of polling-unit result sheets (Form EC8A), uploaded through the BVAS (Bimodal Voter Accreditation System) and browsed by election type, state, LGA, ward and polling unit. INEC has said IReV is not electronic collation: it only displays the uploaded EC8A forms. Collation forms above polling-unit level were not observed.
Historical coverage
Introduced in August 2020, first used for the 2020 Edo governorship election per press coverage, then later off-cycle, bye- and general elections including 2023. INEC's homepage links IReV for the 2026 off-cycle elections and the 2027 general elections. An exact list of elections on the portal was not observed.
Export options
Individual result-sheet documents are viewable; bulk download or structured (tabular) export was not observed. UNKNOWN beyond that.
API
No publicly documented API found.
Methodology
No methodology page found. The process is described in INEC press statements and news coverage: presiding officers upload EC8A forms via BVAS after the declaration at the polling unit.
Reuse terms
Not found on the portal. INEC's main site footer reads "Copyright © 2026 Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). All Rights Reserved". No open-data licence was found.
Distinct capabilities
The authoritative public source of polling-unit result-sheet images, uploaded directly from polling units.
Observed gaps
Data is published as document images rather than structured data, and no bulk export or documented API was found. Upload completeness has been disputed and litigated, for example a court order to upload Lagos governorship results (per a search snippet). The page is JavaScript-rendered and its content could not be read by the fetch tool.
Relationship to OpenPolls
The primary official source to link for any polling-unit result claim. Republishing images or derived datasets needs a check of INEC terms or permission ('All Rights Reserved').
What was verified
inecelectionresults.ng was fetched successfully but returned only the title 'INEC- IREV' (JavaScript app), so no portal content was directly observed. /elections/types failed (ECONNRESET). Functional details (EC8A via BVAS, launched August 2020, not electronic collation) come from search snippets of news and PLAC coverage. The IReV links and the copyright line come from a successful fetch of inecnigeria.org.

INEC CVR Portal (Continuous Voter Registration / PVC status / Polling Unit Locator)
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
INEC's voter-facing portal for continuous voter registration, voter-registration and PVC status checks, PVC collection centres and polling-unit lookup.
Show full audit
Data held
Lookups for individual voters (registration and PVC status), registration and collection centres, and a polling-unit locator and directions (https://cvr.inecnigeria.org/pu, /locator). INEC's main site also has a PVC statistics page (inecnigeria.org/statistics/pvc, not fetched). The portal said: "The Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) exercise process is not currently active."
Historical coverage
UNKNOWN; the portal provides current status rather than a historical archive.
Export options
None found.
API
None documented or found.
Methodology
Not found.
Reuse terms
The portal links to a privacy policy and terms & conditions, which were not read. INEC's main site says "All Rights Reserved".
Distinct capabilities
The official polling-unit locator and individual PVC and registration status check.
Observed gaps
No bulk polling-unit list or voter-register statistics export was observed on the portal. It is built for single lookups. CVR registration was inactive at the time of fetch.
Relationship to OpenPolls
OpenPolls should link users to it for 'find my polling unit' and 'check my PVC' rather than copying the functionality. INEC's polling-unit list and PVC statistics are candidate reference data, subject to INEC terms.
What was verified
Fetched: the cvr.inecnigeria.org homepage, and inecnigeria.org (which supplied the /pu, /locator and /statistics/pvc links). Not fetched: /pu, /locator, /statistics/pvc and the terms page. www.inecnigeria.org failed DNS lookup in this session, but the bare domain inecnigeria.org worked; www.inec.gov.ng returned ECONNRESET.

INEC Final Lists of Candidates and Party Register (inecnigeria.org)
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
Statutory notices on INEC's website that publish final candidate lists as PDF attachments, plus a web register of the 22 recognised political parties.
Show full audit
Data held
Final candidate lists for the January 2027 presidential, Senate and House of Representatives elections, as press pages with PDF attachments (for example /documents/press/2027 PRESIDENTIAL FINAL LIST.pdf). The party register (/parties) lists 22 parties with name, logo, national chairman, national secretary and secretariat address. PDF fields were not inspected. Press reports say the presidential list has 18 candidates (16 male, 2 female) and was signed by the Secretary to the Commission.
Historical coverage
2027 cycle observed (2026 release; news dates the lists to August–September 2026). Earlier cycles' lists were not checked: UNKNOWN.
Export options
PDF documents only, as observed. No CSV or structured format found.
API
None found. No separate public candidate-list portal was identified; the candidate nomination portal used by parties was not found or audited.
Methodology
Not applicable. These are statutory notices.
Reuse terms
No licence found. Site footer: "Copyright © 2026 Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). All Rights Reserved".
Distinct capabilities
The authoritative statutory list of cleared candidates and registered parties.
Observed gaps
PDF-only publication (needs extraction to be used as structured data). /parties shows no candidate data. No machine-readable feed. No reuse licence.
Relationship to OpenPolls
The primary source for OpenPolls candidate and party records. Each record should cite the specific INEC notice or PDF; republishing should respect INEC's 'All Rights Reserved' notice (factual extraction with citation is the cautious approach; consider asking INEC for permission).
What was verified
Fetched: the 2027 update page, the presidential notice page (which showed the PDF link but not its contents), and /parties. The PDF itself and the Senate and House notice pages were not opened. The candidate count, gender split, signatory and release dates come from news search snippets; the nairametrics fetch failed (DNS). The task referred to an 'INEC candidate-list portal', but no separate public portal was found: lists appear as PDF statutory notices on inecnigeria.org.

Political financeLIVEPotential partner
PoliMoney
Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI), Nigeria
A KDI web app for tracking campaign and political finance (candidate income, expenditure and filings) in Nigerian off-cycle governorship elections, launched on 26 March 2025 alongside KDI's Edo/Ondo 2024 campaign finance report.
Show full audit
Data held
Inferred from the site's public JavaScript bundle, not from rendered pages: a state selector listing Anambra, Edo, Ekiti, Ondo and Osun; a candidate view; and routes for incomes, expenditures (top spenders, top income, total spending), filings compliance summaries, deadlines and downloadable resources. The companion PDF report covers the 2024 Edo and Ondo governorship elections. Its data was collected July–November 2024 by 6 media organisations and 39 community monitors in Edo, and 7 media organisations and 36 community monitors in Ondo (per Premium Times). KDI said it 'only tracked what eyes can see'.
Historical coverage
Confirmed: the 2024 Edo and Ondo governorship elections (report dated 25 March 2025). The app code mentions 2024, 2025 and 2026, which suggests later off-cycle elections (for example Anambra 2025, Ekiti/Osun 2026). Which cycles actually hold data is UNKNOWN because the rendered content could not be read.
Export options
The report is a PDF on kimpact.org.ng. The app code has a 'Download' link for items in its resources list. No CSV or bulk dataset export was confirmed.
API
No public or documented API found. The front end calls an undocumented internal backend with no stated terms; it should not be treated as a usable data source without KDI's permission.
Methodology
Described in the report PDF: media and community monitors, with a direct-observation basis. Report page: https://kimpact.org.ng/publications/78/details. No separate methodology page for the app was located.
Reuse terms
Not found. No licence or terms were located on the report page or in the app shell.
Distinct capabilities
Field-monitored campaign spending estimates by candidate for individual governorship elections, plus filings-compliance and deadline tracking (based on app code). KDI also runs an election petitions tribunal dashboard (https://ept.kimpact.org.ng), a data hub (https://data.kimpact.org.ng) and Naija Elections (https://www.naijaelections.ng).
Observed gaps
Off-cycle governorship elections only (no confirmed federal or presidential coverage). Figures are observation-based estimates, which KDI notes understate real spending. No licence, no public API documentation and no confirmed bulk export. The app is client-rendered, so its content could not be checked with a text fetch.
Relationship to OpenPolls
Overlaps directly with OpenPolls' political-finance scope. With no reuse terms, the safe step is to link to and cite KDI reports now. Any data reuse would need a formal agreement with KDI.
What was verified
Fetched: the kimpact.org.ng publication page and homepage (the homepage has no PoliMoney link) and the Premium Times article (launch date and monitor counts). polimoney.kimpact.org.ng responded (title 'Campaign Finance', KDI logo), but it is a JavaScript app, so the states and features come from reading its public JS bundle, not rendered content. The subdomain was not found in search results; it is attributed to KDI by its logo and links. data.kimpact.org.ng returned only a title. ThisDay was seen in search results only. A Japanese project also named 'Polimoney' is unrelated.

The Receipt
Vavinix LTD (per site terms); describes itself as 'Independent civic infrastructure, Nigeria'
A public ledger that scores all 36 Nigerian state governors against documented manifesto promises, using evidence-backed 'receipts' and anonymous citizen verdicts.
Show full audit
Data held
36 state governors. The homepage reported 98 promises and 57 receipts filed (a point-in-time figure). Record types: governors, promises (sector; status Kept / In progress / Abandoned / Broken), receipts (evidence), rankings, report cards, petitions, right-of-reply responses, fact-checks. Governors only; no political-finance data.
Historical coverage
Current governor terms (Lagos example: 2023–2027). Earlier terms: UNKNOWN. Scores were last updated 29 July 2026.
Export options
The homepage mentions 'downloadable data'. No export button was visible on the governor page fetched. Bulk export is via the API's export endpoint, paid (Org) tier only.
API
Documented at https://thereceipt.ng/developers. Read-only, paginated JSON with a Bearer token. Endpoints for governors, promises, receipts, rankings and fact-checks; export and webhooks are Org tier. Limits: 100 requests/hour free, 2,000 requests/hour Org.
Methodology
https://thereceipt.ng/methodology. Only written promises count (manifestos, inauguration addresses, policy documents from the first 100 days). Scoring: kept = 1, verifiable progress = 0.5, broken/abandoned = 0. Accepted evidence includes budgets, contract awards, FOI responses, geotagged photos and court records. An editorial review board audits quarterly; editorial scores are kept separate from citizen verdicts.
Reuse terms
Developers page: 'The data is free for journalism and research'; commercial services must use the paid tier. No Creative Commons or open licence. The terms do not address scraping or bulk republication.
Distinct capabilities
Promise-by-promise tracking for governors with evidence receipts, a right-of-reply channel for governments, anonymous citizen verification, petitions, and a documented API with webhooks.
Observed gaps
Governors only (no legislators, president or local government). Small promise count per governor (for example 5 for Lagos). Launch date not stated. Bulk export is paid. Whether a non-commercial civic platform republishing the data counts as 'journalism and research' is not stated. Its scoring approach differs from OpenPolls, which does not score politicians.
Relationship to OpenPolls
Promise tracking complements OpenPolls' candidate and manifesto coverage. OpenPolls can link to and cite it. Using its API would need the operator's confirmation that OpenPolls' use fits 'journalism and research', or an Org-tier agreement. OpenPolls should not import its scores, since the mandate rules out scoring politicians.
What was verified
Fetched all listed thereceipt.ng pages. Searches for 'The Receipt' returned no results, so the site was found by trying thereceipt.ng directly. It is not confirmed that this is the product the mandate meant; it is a promise tracker, not a political-finance tool. Counts are homepage figures at the time of fetch.

CeFTIW / CeFTPI, including the Political Finance Integrity (PFI) dashboard
Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Integrity Watch (CeFTIW), Abuja; its website now uses the name 'Center for Fiscal Transparency & Public Integrity (CeFTPI)'
An Abuja-based non-profit that publishes the annual Transparency and Integrity Index of public institutions and runs anti-corruption databases, plus a Political Finance Integrity dashboard estimating 2027 campaign spending.
Show full audit
Data held
Transparency and Integrity Index (TII) of federal and state public institutions (518 assessed in TII 2026). Other tools: a Local Government Integrity Index (nlgii.fiscaltransparency.org), a PEP database, an asset-recovery database, a legislative probes monitor, a criminal history/sentencing tool, a crime tracker and a procurement-integrity platform. The PFI dashboard (pfi.fiscaltransparency.org) gives AI-modelled campaign spending estimates for candidates and parties (rallies, billboards, media, logistics) against INEC spending limits.
Historical coverage
TII editions 2021–2026. PFI covers the 2027 election cycle. Coverage of the other databases: UNKNOWN.
Export options
TII report and methodology are PDFs. No CSV or spreadsheet export was seen. PFI: no download option seen.
API
None found.
Methodology
TII 2026 methodology PDF: https://www.fiscaltransparency.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Transparency-and-Integrity-Index-TII-2026-Methodology-.pdf. PFI is described on the dashboard as AI-modelled estimates from open-source intelligence; no PFI methodology document was located.
Reuse terms
Not found.
Distinct capabilities
A multi-year index of public-institution transparency, a PEP database, asset-recovery and legislative-probe tracking, and an observation-based estimator of 2027 campaign spending against legal limits.
Observed gaps
PFI figures are explicitly 'AI-modelled estimates', not disclosed filings. TII data is PDF-only as observed. No API and no reuse licence located. Two PFI portal links returned HTTP 404. The organisation's name differs between sources (CeFTIW vs CeFTPI).
Relationship to OpenPolls
The PFI dashboard overlaps with OpenPolls' 2027 campaign-finance coverage; if cited, its figures must carry an 'Estimated' badge. TII and the PEP and asset databases could be linked for context. With no licence found, data reuse needs permission, so CeFTIW is also a possible partner.
What was verified
Fetched: fiscaltransparency.org (homepage, PFI pages, PEP page, TII 2026 page), pfi.fiscaltransparency.org and the MacArthur grantee page, which lists the grantee as 'Center for Fiscal Transparency and Integrity Watch' at fiscaltransparency.org. ceftiw.org and ceftiw.org.ng do not resolve. The TII PDFs, the PEP database portal and the other databases were not opened, so their contents and terms are UNKNOWN.

GovSpend
BudgIT Foundation (Lagos). The site footer credits support from the National Endowment for Democracy and the MacArthur Foundation.
Portal presenting Nigerian federal government daily payment transactions, taken from the Federal Government's Open Treasury Portal, with views by ministry, agency and beneficiary.
Show full audit
Data held
Federal level only: daily treasury payments by federal ministries, agencies and parastatals. Views include all transactions, daily/monthly/yearly summaries, ministries, agencies and beneficiaries. The site's code references beneficiary_name, organization_name, payer_code, amount and description fields, so payment records name recipients (organisations and individuals). BudgIT's 2020–2024 analysis covers 323,792 transactions. No state or local government payments were observed.
Historical coverage
BudgIT says 'Years Active: 2020 to Present'; its published analysis covers 2020–2024. Exact earliest and latest transaction dates in the live dataset are UNKNOWN (data loads client-side and was not extracted).
Export options
Yes: /download/ offers daily transaction records as CSV, XLSX, XLS, ODS and JSON with a date-range selector, with no login shown. BudgIT also publishes analysis reports as PDFs.
API
No documented public API found (/api/ returns 404). An undocumented backend is used by BudgIT's own sites; it should not be treated as a public API without BudgIT's permission.
Methodology
No methodology page found on govspend.ng. BudgIT's programme page says the data is 'mined from Nigeria's Open Treasury Portal'. The 2020–2024 report may include a methodology section; it was not read.
Reuse terms
Not found. govspend.ng shows only '© 2023 Govspend.ng'; terms and privacy paths return 404. No licence located for the downloads. Bulk reuse should be cleared with BudgIT.
Distinct capabilities
Names payment beneficiaries for federal treasury payments; filters by beneficiary type, year, quarter, month, date range and amount; multi-format export.
Observed gaps
Federal treasury payments only. No documented API, licence or on-site methodology. Completeness depends on the Open Treasury Portal; BudgIT itself reports payments with missing descriptions. Beneficiaries are free-text names with no CAC identifiers observed, so matching to companies needs entity resolution.
Relationship to OpenPolls
The strongest candidate for government-payments-to-companies enrichment, because records name recipients from 2020 onward. Without a licence, OpenPolls should link and cite (ideally record-level) rather than ingest; bulk use would need a data-sharing agreement with BudgIT. A payment record is not evidence of wrongdoing, and wording must stay neutral.
What was verified
Fetched: the home page, /download/, /reports/, /explore/, /beneficiaries/ and /yearlysummary/ (data loads client-side, so no transactions were seen), the BudgIT programme page and the 2020–2024 report landing page. The public JS bundle was inspected for field names only. The launch article and the Open Treasury Portal's 2019 launch date were seen in search snippets only.

BudgIT Foundation (footer: '© 2025 Budgit Foundation. All rights reserved.'); EU-funded through the ROLAC II programme implemented by International IDEA
Platform tracking Nigerian public projects and the money disbursed for them, combining BudgIT DataHub, Tracka, GovSpend, NOCOPO procurement data and verified public submissions on per-project pages.
Show full audit
Data held
Public projects across Nigeria, searchable by title, location, sector, agency or budget code. Per its About page, data comes from BudgIT DataHub (budget allocations, procurement records, contract awards), Tracka (field monitoring), GovSpend (contractor payments), NOCOPO in OCDS format (tenders, awards, suppliers) and public submissions marked pending, verified or rejected.
Historical coverage
UNKNOWN. No year range stated; the project list renders client-side.
Export options
None observed.
API
No documented public API found (/api returns 404).
Methodology
No dedicated methodology document. The About page describes sources and the Contribute page describes the submission and verification workflow; verified and unverified updates are shown separately.
Reuse terms
Not found. Footer 'Terms' and 'Privacy' links are placeholders; terms paths return 404. Footer states 'All rights reserved.'
Distinct capabilities
Joins budget lines, procurement (OCDS), payments and field monitoring per project; role-based contributions from citizens, CSOs, agencies and contractors with visible verification status.
Observed gaps
No export, API, terms or licence. Historical range and project counts not stated. Mostly re-aggregates other BudgIT and government sources.
Relationship to OpenPolls
Already links payments and contractor data to projects and procurement, so it is a model or partner for linking government money to companies. Any data use should be agreed with BudgIT.
What was verified
Fetched the home page, /about, /projects (shell only, no project data) and /contribute. /terms, /privacy and /api returned 404. Backend hostnames came from public JS bundles and were not called. publicmoni.ng and publicmoni.com did not resolve.

No formal methodology document. The FAQ explains constituency projects; the disclaimer says OrderPaper takes responsibility for content from budget and trained-tracker verification reports, not independent citizen posts.
Reuse terms
Site disclaimer: "Content from ConsTrack may be freely used, reproduced and stored in a retrieval system so long as due attribution and credit is given to OrderPaper." The separate Terms of Service restrict redistributing the platform or making derivative works of the site/app. Bulk scraping is not addressed and should not be assumed.
Distinct capabilities
Links individual projects to named legislators and senatorial districts; citizen monitoring with photos; a published attribution-based content reuse statement.
Observed gaps
TLS certificate had expired when checked. No year after 2023, no export or API, zero counters on the home page and implausible amounts on some records. Federal constituency projects only.
Relationship to OpenPolls
Projects appropriated in a sitting legislator's name could be linked from an incumbent's profile with attribution to OrderPaper, which its reuse statement allows. Data-quality caveats should accompany any citation. OrderPaper is also a potential partner for legislative data.
What was verified
The standard fetch failed because the site's TLS certificate had expired; public pages were then fetched without certificate validation (no login bypassed). The 2018 app launch, USAID support and award details come from search snippets.
