Our mission
To simplify policy, promote inclusive civic education, and drive evidence-based advocacy that empowers Nigerian communities to shape transparent, accountable and equitable governance.
About SimpleFix Nigeria
We're a Lagos-based nonprofit turning Nigeria's policies, budgets and big public decisions into something every citizen can understand, question and act on. Evidence. Clarity. Action.
Our story
SimpleFix Nigeria was founded to close a long-standing gap between public policy and the real lives it shapes.
With over 133 million Nigerians classified as multidimensionally poor (NBS, 2022), and with many decisions made without transparency, citizen input, or grassroots reality, Nigeria's governance gap isn't a mystery — it's a consequence. Policy stays out of reach: buried in technical language, made in elite rooms, and detached from everyday life.
We exist to reverse that. We deliver public benefit through civic education, policy literacy and inclusive governance advocacy — translating the language of government into knowledge any Nigerian can understand, engage with, and act on, regardless of background, income or formal education.
Our tools are free and accessible — research briefs, podcast episodes, multilingual explainers — and we particularly prioritise the voices most often left out: youth, women, and persons with disabilities. The country is ours alone.
Who we are
Three things anchor everything we do — from how we run our research to how we talk to the public.
To simplify policy, promote inclusive civic education, and drive evidence-based advocacy that empowers Nigerian communities to shape transparent, accountable and equitable governance.
A Nigeria where every citizen — whatever their background or language — is empowered to understand, influence and benefit from the public policy decisions that shape their lives.
How we work
Nigeria doesn't lack policy — it lacks the link between policy and the people it affects. We build that link in three moves, and everything we do is one of them.
We start with the facts.
We make it make sense.
We help people act on it.
Our methodology
Beneath those three moves, one operating discipline keeps us honest.
Evidence-led research and advocacy, every output shared freely.
Women, youth and persons with disabilities first; ten languages.
We track adoption of our work and report on results transparently.
The people a policy affects help shape the work on it.
Solutions built for Nigerian realities, not imported wholesale.
Data over expediency, anchored in a living knowledge hub.
How we hold the line
The credibility of our work depends on how we produce it — every article, episode and brief.
Verifiable sources, cited. We acknowledge uncertainty and never pass speculation off as analysis.
Rigorous content a citizen without a policy background can still follow and act on.
We name the fault and the fix — specific, actionable recommendations wherever possible.
No party, government or commercial affiliation. The same standard for everyone.
Free and public. Policy knowledge shouldn't sit behind a paywall.
The team
We're a lean, committed team of researchers and communicators who believe civic knowledge isn't a luxury — it's a right.
