On Monday, May 16, Digital Talks will host a live interview with the CEO of BudgIT, Nigerian civic-tech organization, raising the standards of transparency and accountability in public finance.
In 2011, during a hackathon, Oluseun and his friend, Joseph Agunbiade formed a team. It was here that the idea to make information about government spending more accessible to the average citizen, came to life.
Founded in a bid to help citizens check a government prone to propaganda and, sometimes, misinformation, BudgIT makes the citizenry more interested in data and objective criticism of their elected officials. Beyond this, what started as an idea has gone on to become an instrumental tool for social change.
This conversation comes at the most critical time in our democracy. With the elections nearer, the economic situation and realities harsher than ever, now is the time to seek transparency and accountability from would-be new leaders.
