AdvoKC Foundation has released the 2-Year BAT-O-METER Report: “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 selected presidential promises in 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 steps, such as 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 gone unmet.
According to Communications Manager, AdvoKC Foundation, Luqman Adamu:
“Of the 24 promises assessed, only seven were rated as ‘Promise Kept’, three as ‘Compromised’, and a staggering 14 as ‘Broken’,” said Zayyad Musa, Lead Project manager for the BAT-O-METER project at AdvoKC Foundation.”

“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.”
