Group Releases Compendium On Tinubu’s Administration

The Citizens Project, a national civic initiative committed to documenting and elevating the role of citizens in governance accountability, is set to release its flagship publication on President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The publication titled, “The Reform Index™: Tracking Nigeria’s Governance Evolution Under Tinubu”, is a comprehensive, non-partisan compendium of the day-to-day activities, reforms and policy directions undertaken by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government between May 29, 2023, and May 28, 2025.
In a statement made available to LEADERSHIP, the convener, A’dab Ukor, said the project through its flagship publication, grassroots engagement and public communication platforms, offers a clear-eyed view of Nigeria’s governance trajectory—anchored in verifiable data and a commitment to participatory democracy.

“The Reform Index™ documents key initiatives in economic reform, energy restructuring, foreign policy, infrastructure expansion, education, social protection, digital governance, and national security. It captures the difficult choices made, such as the removal of fuel subsidies and foreign exchange unification, as well as the compensatory social programs like the expansion of cash transfers, student loan schemes, and the revival of long-standing infrastructure projects.

“The Reform Index™ is not a government document, nor is it a partisan critique—it is a citizens’ lens on the governance journey so far,” he said.

Ukor revealed that the Reform Index™ would be publicly presented after it has been officially handed over to President Bola Tinubu by the Citizens Project Presidential Stakeholders Delegation.

“It will become a biennial feature of The Citizens Project. Future editions will continue to draw from verified field data, media tracking, budget analysis, and citizen surveys, to ensure an informed civic discourse rooted in transparency, truth, and shared responsibility.

“The Citizens Project acknowledges the critical role of the Nigerian media in amplifying citizen voices and shaping the national conversation. We see media partners as key stakeholders in our mission to deepen democratic engagement through evidence-based narratives. We encourage newsrooms, editors, and broadcasters to examine The Reform Index™, reference its findings in their reporting, and invite representatives of The Citizens Project for commentary, clarification, or further analysis.”

He also said the project’s next steps include regional citizen feedback forums, documentary storytelling, and collaboration with academic and research institutions to widen the depth and impact of our public engagement.

The project is said to be supported by distinguished national patrons like Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, CFR. Ojaja II, Ooni of Ife; His Royal Highness, Emir Nasir Ado Bayero, CFR, Bichi Emirate Council; Chief (Dr) Sam Okey Nwosu, project chief facilitator and other patriotic eminent Nigerians drawn across the six geopolitical zones.

The Citizens Project, according to the organisers, has presence across all 36 states and over 590 local government areas to bridge the gap between reform and reality, policy and people.
