“Tracka, how do I hold the government accountable and make sure the money gets to my community?” Here is a thread on our tech tools, how to use them and what to use them for: 👇 #GetInvolved

Thank you for corroborating our stance. We acknowledge that lawmakers do not directly execute projects. However, when a project captured in the national budget is abandoned after substantial public funds have been disbursed, we all have every right to demand answers from all parties connected to the process, including contractors, implementing agencies, and public officials providing oversight. Raising these concerns is not an attack on representation, it is part of ensuring that public projects are completed and citizens get the services promised to them. It should interest you to know that N29.97bn worth of projects were reported abandoned in our 2025 report, this can be avoided with proactive action. We remain committed to constructive civic engagement and evidence-based advocacy in the public interest.

Dear @TrackaNG Thank you for your attention to this matter. However, there are certain perspectives missing from the civic responsibility you displayed here. For a start, it's customary to hear leaders chorus "constituency development" without actually doing the work. That's not the case with Big Ben because he delivers. He understands the desperate needs of his constituency, needs he has fulfilled with panache. That’s what representation looks like. DEEP DIVE As a practice, it's not the responsibility of the Deputy Speaker award or execute contracts. That’s the role of the executive. In this particular case, Muslac Techno Company Ltd won the bid and was contracted to deliver. The contractor abandoned the project. That’s contractor negligence and potential fraud. This is clearly not a failure of representation. The company is now under investigation. @officialEFCC is on it, and the owner will be held accountable. The Deputy Speaker is actively following up to ensure justice and completion. Once again, thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Deputy Speaker Rt. Hon. @OfficialBenKalu, Yesterday, we visited the site of the “construction and furnishing of an ultra-modern conference and e-learning facility at Bende Secondary Grammar School, Bende, Abia State” captured in the 2024 FG budget. Findings from govspend.ng show that N265.3m has already been paid to Muslac Techno Company Limited since December 2025. However, the school informed us that they are completely unaware of the project. More troubling is the fact that despite the school having sufficient available land, the project was seen diverted from the original beneficiary to another community in Ọnụ Inyang, at an isolated location along the Bende-Ohafia express road. At the time of our visit, no workers were found on site. The construction site already appears abandoned, with grasses gradually overtaking the structure on ground. For a project that has received such substantial payment for over six months, the level of work visible raises serious concerns about implementation, supervision, and value for public funds. Kindly call on the @FmstNg, the implementing agency, and anti-graft agencies @officialEFCC and @icpcnigeria to investigate this project and provide the public with clear answers. - Why was the project moved away from the beneficiary school? - Who approved the relocation? - What exactly justifies the N265.3m already paid? Public projects must serve the communities they were budgeted for, not become another case of questionable execution and weak accountability. #publicfundsmustworkforthegoodofthepeople #askquestions

Our fight for improved service delivery goes hand in hand with discouraging the misuse and waste of public resources! Case in point: this facility was constructed in Abia state in 2024. From 2023 to 2025, a total of N20.5m was paid to ZEPEK CONCEPTS LIMITED for the Construction of Sanitation & Hygiene Facilities with Solar Powered Borehole at Eketa Market Isieket and Umuleghele Community Primary School Both in Isieke, Isialangwa South LGA, Abia state. We tracked and report that toilet construction and water tank installation was done in Eketa market in 2024 but the facility never served the community. The water facility constructed never worked, not even once, a situation that led to the community's inability to use the toilet. Both facilities are now in very dilapidated conditions, out of use, surrounded by bush and abandoned. A facility that cost millions is now sitting unused and depleting. According to residents, "since the construction of this facility, it has never served us, and we had no way to reach the contractor." We call on @FMWR_Nigeria, the implementing agency, to: - Provide the public with details of this project - Call the contractor back to the site. - ⁠Facilitate proper handover of the project after renovation. #publicfundsmustworkforthegoodofthepeople #Askquestions

Love this so much! 🧡🔥

The Active Citizens Award is back and we’re up like never before!🥳 Want to know about the award and nomination process? Visit awards.civichive.org #ACA2026 #ACAbriefing

This year features 12 categories, and 7 of them are open for public nominations. Yes, you can nominate yourself too. Nominations are officially open and will run until June 14. Someone came to mind while reading this? don’t scroll past them! nominate them 👉 awards.civichive.org #ACA2026 #ActivCitizensAwards

As part of strengthening BudgIT’s subnational engagement, we paid a courtesy visit to the Governor of @abiastategov, His Excellency Dr. @alexottiofr, to discuss areas of collaboration around fiscal sustainability, transparency, accountability, social sector investments, support for women, and improvements in Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across the state. During the meeting, our Global Director, @seunonigbinde, commended Governor Alex Otti for the remarkable progress recorded so far, particularly Abia State’s rise from 17th to 4th position in BudgIT’s State Fiscal Transparency League Table within two years. Our Country Director, @Thegrey8, also applauded the administration’s openness to collaboration and its commitment to strengthening governance and service delivery for citizens. Responding, Governor Alex Otti reaffirmed that transparency remains a priority for his administration. He also spoke about ongoing improvements in the education and health sectors, including free and compulsory basic education, increased school enrolment, teacher recruitment, and efforts to revitalise healthcare facilities and PHCs across the state. A productive conversation, a shared commitment, and another important step towards building stronger systems for the people of Abia State. #Transparency #GetInvolved

Thank you for the observation @degengeezer. As seen in the attached slide, the mandate, vision, and heritage of Federal Cooperative College, Oji River are centered around cooperative education, manpower development, vocational training, and capacity building within the cooperative sector, not the installation of solar streetlights across states. So you are right to ask how did a tertiary institution established for cooperative studies become an implementing agency for solar streetlight projects in Abia state? This growing practice of assigning projects outside institutional mandates raises serious concerns about procurement abuse, accountability gaps, and possible corruption within the budgeting system. Public institutions should not become channels for politically motivated or poorly supervised projects outside their core responsibilities.

@TrackaNG @PowerUpNG @BudgITng @FMWNIG @NG_AbiaState @thisisabiastate @peters_dominion How is the Federal co-operative College Oji river executing a project in Abia state ? @TrackaNG Please what is the logic behind this ?

In August 2025, N60.5m was paid to Gorrion Consult Ltd for the Installation of Solar Street Light to Ohuhu and Other Communities in Umuahia South LGA, Abia state. We tracked and report that this project has not been done. Residents of Ohuhu say they are not aware of any installations done. We call on FEDERAL CO-OPERATIVE COLLEGE- OJI RIVER, the implementing agency to provide the public with details of how funds disbursed for this project was used.

@TrackaNG @NG_AbiaState @thisisabiastate @peters_dominion @GPforEducation @NigEducation @icpcnigeria @HonAlexMascot What exactly is happening here? This project was delivered in 2024, yet a payment of N204.2m was made in 2025 for a project that is already falling apart barely two years after delivery. Who certified this project for payment🤔 Who supervised the execution🤔

Under the PACE project, we tracked several climate related projects in Abia state. From 2022 to 2024, a total of N32.7m was paid to Aribosar Ventures LTD for the Construction of Umunwanwa Irrigation, Erosion and Flood Control Works, Abia state. We tracked and report that the internal road was constructed in 2022 with drainage to control flooding. Our observations show that the drainages now need maintenance. We call on Anambra/Imo River Basin Development Authority, the implementing agency to facilitate maintenance works for this project.

LESS THAN 2YRS AND NEWLY BUILT CLASSROOMS ARE ALREADY FALLING APART! In March 2025, N204.2m was paid to JAY JAY BADMUS INVESTMENT LTD for the Construction & Furnishing of 3Nos 6 classroom Blocks at Eziama Nneato Model Sec Sch, Amaise Ahaba Ward 1, Ulasi Road Primary Sch, Aba, Abia state. We tracked and report that 3 blocks of classrooms were constructed in Ulasi in 2024. However upon our follow up visit in March 2026, this building is already worn out, suggesting poor work done. We call on @ossap_sdgs, the implementing agency to provide the public with details of this project and call the contractor back to site to correct these defects.

In Sept 2024, N86.5m was paid to KELEKING GLOBAL RESOURCES Ltd for the Supply & Install of Renewable Solar Street Light in Amuzu & Umuode Villa of Abia State. We visited and saw 3 streetlights. According to residents, most of them disappeared when the construction of Umuodo road began last year. There was no way to ascertain what happened with the streetlights as there were no workers on site. We call on @fedccojiriver, the implementing agency to provide the public with details of this project.

At Enyibichiri PHC, there is still a shortage of staff and a leaking roof that requires urgent repair. At Ogudunwatuzo PHC, there were concerns about the quality of ongoing revitalization work, with reports of substandard materials being used and newly installed infrastructure already deteriorating. #FixOurPHCs

We paid monitoring visits to PHCs across LGAs in Ebonyi State including Enyibichiri Model PHC, Ndiogadoshi PHC (Ndiagu Echara 2), Ogudunwatuzo PHC (Uburu), Okposi Urban PHC, and Obiozara PHC. At Enyibichiri Model PHC and Obiozara PHC, a motorized borehole with overhead tanks was installed but the outlook of the facilities still need renovation. Also at Ndiogadoshi PHC, the facility for immunization and malaria services is currently at roofing stage, as well as three additional buildings.

In Dec 2024, N63.1m was paid to ORPIEC GLOBAL SERVICES LTD for the Construction of 59 nos Solar Streetlight at Unweke Community Ekpelu-Ekawoke Ward, Ikwo LGA, Ebonyi Central Senatorial District. We tracked and report that about 12 solar streetlights were installed at Unweke community. We were unable to confirm the work done at Ekawoke but residents told us that digging started again in March 2026 for new installations. We will keep tracking to ensure quality work is done across all beneficiary communities.

Last month we held a stakeholders engagement meeting with the Ward Development Committee (WDC) Chairman and a few other officials/members of Dala Lawanti Ward, Jere LGA of Borno State regarding critical challenges affecting Dala PHC. Important steps to be taken for this PHC to become functional were discussed and put in motion.

NPHCDA is pleased to host the First Quarter Meeting of the Northern Traditional Leaders Committee (NTLC) on Primary Health Care Delivery. The meeting provides a strategic platform for the Agency to engage traditional leaders on their critical roles and responsibilities …
