AdvoKC, a civic tech, youth-led governance organisation committed to using technology, art and entertainment to advance transparency, accountability, has unveiled Okpebholometer, an accountability tool under its flagship ‘Promise Tracker NG initiative.’

Promise Tracker NG is a civic-tech platform to monitor and evaluate fulfilment of campaign promises by elected officials. Okpebholometer focuses on collecting, tracking, evaluating and communicating progress of promises by Governor Monday Okpebholo, as outlined in his campaign and Manifesto of Renewed Hope.

The tool empowers residents with timely, reliable and accessible information on the status of governance, with the aim of fostering a culture of transparency, trust and participatory democracy.

“Edo State is at a pivotal moment, and residents deserve to know what progress is made on promises that brought this administration to power,” said Nelson Otabor, programme lead for Okpebholometer.

“This platform is not just about tracking; it’s about making governance visible, responsive and people-centred.”

Foundation’s Executive Director, Abiola Durodola, said the launch reflected the organisation’s broader mission. “We believe democracy works best when citizens are informed and engaged. Okpebholometer is a bold reiteration of our commitment to fostering transparency and accountability in governance, while deepening participation in how public promises are delivered.”

Okpebholometer will be supported in the next 12 months by Nigeria Youth Futures Fund, a youth-focused initiative funded by Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation and Luminate Group, and implemented by LEAP Africa. (The Nation)
