There are obviously people who want to see if President Buhari will deliver or fail. So now a civic group has launched an online app to track the president’s performance and compare it to his campaign promises.

The app is Buharimeter,

Buharimeter has got data on all the promises the APC and Buhari made when they were campaigning. The Centre for Democracy and Development built it with support from Open Society Foundation West Africa and Budgit, a leading budget data analytics firm.

How it works

1. It crowd sources Nigerians’ contributions to discussions and comments on government policy.

2. It carries out policy and media monitoring exercise.

‘Policy statements will be acquired, analysed and used as basis for gauging the performance of the government,’ Idaya Hassan, director of the centre said.

3. It physically checks projects.

At its launch on Monday three days after the president was sworn in, the website showed a clean slate.

Its ongoing bar had a slight fill of green because of Buhari’s secret assets declaration. Buhari promised to declare his assets publicly but he hasn’t done this.

Buharimeter is part of the digital governance revolution in Nigeria, using online tools to deepen the country’s democracy and make government accountable and transparent, its creators say.
