Help keep Legis360 free and independent

Legis360 makes Nigeria's legislature legible: every bill, motion and vote, in plain language, with no paywall.

Your support helps us:

Hold power to account. We put on record what the 10th Assembly is doing, so citizens know the public is watching.
Keep it free and open. No paywalls, because everyone deserves clear, unbiased information about decisions made on their behalf.
Keep building. Proceedings, scorecards, alerts and the Ilimi assistant all cost money to run and to improve.

We don't want to wait for a more transparent democracy to be handed to us. We want to build it now, with you.
