Seun Onigbinde, co-founder of BudgIT and the man behind TrackerNG, Nigeria's largest public project-tracking platform, joins Rex for another episode of the Big Ideas Podcast. They talk about the journey from a restless, questioning mind to building BudgIT and Tracker, Nigeria's largest public project tracking platform, and what it takes to reclaim civic space in a democracy under strain. In this conversation: • How BudgIT went from simplifying public budgets to tracking projects in 34 of 36 states and 3,500+ communities • Why governors are getting more powerful, and why citizens must reclaim their civic space • Live with integrity, don't dignify nonsense: the advice for idea generators • "Don't be afraid to shake the table": the message to policymakers • Why everyday citizens should step up and run for office
