Start with what's real.
We begin with the facts — research, data and the public record. No vibes, no spin. If we can't show it, we don't say it.
SimpleFix Nigeria
We take Nigeria's policies, budgets and big public decisions and make them make sense — so more of us can follow what's happening, ask sharper questions, and actually do something about it.

How we work
Most policy is written to be impenetrable. We don't think it has to be. Every brief, episode and explainer we make moves through the same three steps.
We begin with the facts — research, data and the public record. No vibes, no spin. If we can't show it, we don't say it.
We translate dense policy, budgets and legalese into plain language you can actually read — short, honest and free of jargon.
Understanding is only useful if you can use it. Each piece ends with a clear, doable step — a question to ask, a right to claim, someone to hold to account.
Call it civic education, policy literacy and public accountability if you like. We just call it Evidence, Clarity, Action.
Policy brief · 2026
Nigeria generates far more waste than its systems can handle, and the gap is widening. Our newest brief looks at what's actually breaking down — collection, funding, accountability — what it's costing communities, and the practical fixes that could work without waiting on a perfect system.

Episode 03 · 17 June 2026 · 21 min
On election day, you don't really pick your leaders — you pick from a shortlist drawn up long before, inside party primaries most of us never see. We unpack how the real choosing happens, why your PVC is only half the story, and what to actually do about it.
Hosted by Chike Ibewuike & Oyindamola Adebayo
