ADVOKC Foundation Releases 2-Year Assessment of President Tinubu’s Administration

... As President Bola Ahmed Tinubu marks his second year in office

AdvoKC Foundation has released the 2-Year BAT-O-METER Report, titled: “Renewed Hope: Promises, Progress, and Pending Dreams”, offering an evidence-based, independent assessment of the President’s performance in fulfilling campaign promises made under the Renewed Hope agenda.

Launched under the Promise Tracker NG initiative, the report evaluates 24 carefully selected presidential promises across five thematic areas critical to national development: Economic Development & Job Creation, Education, Healthcare, Justice & Security, and Governance.

The report paints a mixed picture of progress. While the administration has taken bold steps, such as the removal of fuel subsidy, implementation of student loan policies, and support for MSMEs, major commitments in critical sectors like healthcare, youth employment, food security, and digital judicial reform have largely gone unmet.

According to the Communications Manager, AdvoKC Foundation, Luqman Adamu:

“Out of the 24 promises assessed, only 7 were rated as ‘Promise Kept’, 3 as

‘Compromised’, and a staggering 14 as ‘Broken. This data tells a compelling story of a government that has shown flashes of intent but continues to fall short in execution, particularly in areas with the greatest impact on everyday Nigerians.”

The report comes at a time of growing public frustration, as Nigerians grapple with worsening inflation, soaring unemployment, rising poverty, and declining access to basic healthcare. According to the World Bank’s April 2025 Poverty and Equity Brief, 75.5% of rural Nigerians now live below the poverty line.

Despite the government’s rhetoric, the report finds that no healthcare-related promise has been fulfilled, and promises around food security, digital justice reform, and diplomacy remain largely aspirational. Education reforms have seen marginal movement, with initiatives like the youth fellowship program and curriculum revamp completely shelved. While recognising the complexity of Nigeria’s socio-political terrain, the report stressed that accountability must remain non-negotiable in any democratic government.

“BAT-O-METER is not just a report card; it’s a civic tool that empowers citizens to engage governance with facts, not fiction,” added Adamu. “With two years remaining in President Tinubu’s tenure, there is still time to course-correct. But the window is narrowing fast.”
