2025 has been a remarkable year defined by significant milestones and meaningful progress. During the year, we launched our new Abuja and Lagos offices, introduced our AI-powered chatbot, BIMI, formalized key partnerships through strategic MOUs, and marked the 10th anniversary of the State of States Report. It has truly been a year of impact and growth. Our sincere appreciation goes to our donors, partners, and supporters, whose unwavering support made these achievements possible. Let’s do more in 2026!🚀 #AskQuestions #GetInvolved

Cracked walls, leaking roof, and barely any space — the Limawa Ward A School Clinic was everything but a proper healthcare facility. For over two decades, it served nearly 7,300 people, including residents from neighbouring communities, despite its deplorable state. Through @BudgITng’s SCEAP project and community-led advocacy, the clinic has been demolished and rebuilt. It now boasts a standard delivery suite, functional wards, spacious consultation rooms, and improved sanitation — restoring both quality healthcare and community trust.

We commend the bold action of the Nigerian Senate in calling the Executive to account on the status of Budget Implementation Reports (BIR). The last publicly available BIR was for Q3 2024 — nearly a year ago. This development reinforces our earlier call to the @FinMinNigeria and the @BudgetOfficeNG to uphold the provisions of the Fiscal Responsibility Act (2007) by ensuring that Quarterly Budget Implementation Reports are published promptly. Transparency in budget performance is not optional — it’s a legal and moral obligation. Citizens deserve to know how public funds are managed. #AskQuestions #GetInvolved

Memories from #StateofStates2022! As we count down to the launch of #StateofStates2025, let’s reminisce on the 2022 edition titled “Sustainable Governance Reforms for a New Era.” Held on October 13, 2022, at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, the report assessed and ranked the fiscal performance and sustainability of all 36 states in Nigeria.

When the idea of State of States was first developed, only 5 states published scanty budget documents. Oil revenues had slumped, debts were piling up, and 33 of 36 states couldn’t pay salaries. Meet @lloydatiku, the very first Research and Policy Advisory Team Lead in @BudgITng’s history. He shares how the State of States report was conceived and why it has become such an important tool for driving fiscal transparency and accountability. From those challenging fiscal times to today’s 10th edition, the State of States continues to demonstrate that transparency matters only when it translates into better service delivery and real impact for citizens. 🎙️ Tomorrow! All team leads from the history of BudgIT’s Research Department will come together for a special conversation! — You don’t want to miss this! 👏🏽 Set your reminder here: teapawt.net/i/spaces/1mrGmBD… Register here: event.stateofstates.budgit.o… #StateofStates2025 #SOSat10 #GetInvolved
