Bridging the data gap in Nigerian elections

Nigeria Decides is an initiative by Veriv Africa, a data insights company committed to making public data accessible and actionable. While several organisations track elections through polls and situation rooms, no centralised platform existed to bring it all together.

We built this to change that. By harnessing historical and real-time data, we provide public-facing analysis that helps voters make informed decisions and enables stakeholders to better understand key developments in the polity.

Data-Driven

Every insight backed by verifiable data from INEC, NBS, and credible survey organisations.

Non-Partisan

We don't take sides. Our mission is to inform, not influence, empowering citizens with facts.

Open & Transparent

Our methodology is public. Our sources are cited. Our data is accessible to all.

For Nigerians

Built in Nigeria, for Nigerians, in languages and formats that resonate with every citizen.

Get Involved

Your vote is your voice.
Make it count.

Check your registration status, explore the data, and stay informed as Nigeria heads to the polls.
