In a bold stride toward reimagining democratic participation, Oak Centre has announced the launch of MyGovOnline.ai, an advanced civic technology platform designed to transform how citizens, journalists and lawmakers interact in today’s fast-paced digital society.
This is where democracy meets intelligence.
Described as an intelligent platform for policy influence and legislative accountability, MyGovOnline.ai offers a systematic and structured approach to civic engagement. It establishes a direct, data-driven channel through which citizens can submit concerns to their elected representatives, track government responses and engage with others advocating for similar issues. Journalists can access a real-time stream of civic concerns, deepen their investigations with grassroots insights and assess the responsiveness of lawmakers to public demands. For legislators, the platform provides a means to receive verified constituent feedback, prioritise recurring issues based on data and reinforce public trust through transparent response mechanisms.
At its core, MyGovOnline.ai bridges a longstanding gap in Nigeria’s democratic space. By connecting citizens, media and policymakers through real-time feedback loops, it enables a more transparent, responsive and evidence-based governance process. The platform not only promotes public participation but also strengthens democratic accountability at every level.
Speaking on the launch, Peter Obadare, Head of Civic Innovation at Oak Centre, said, “MyGovOnline.ai institutionalises civic engagement. It eliminates the noise that often clouds public discourse and channels verified citizen concerns into a format lawmakers can act upon. This is not merely a reporting tool. It is a governance ecosystem that redefines how democracy functions in the digital age.”
Obadare emphasised that the platform is designed with every actor in mind, from the citizen looking for a credible way to engage, to the journalist seeking meaningful leads for accountability reporting, and the lawmaker in search of clear legislative priorities. MyGovOnline.ai, he said, is engineered to transform citizen feedback into actionable insights for policy reform.
In a time when governance is expected to be smarter, faster and more inclusive, MyGovOnline.ai stands out as a timely intervention. It turns grassroots voices into legislative input, empowers evidence-based advocacy and enhances transparency through documented issue tracking. More than a digital solution, it is a living framework for democratic responsiveness.
As Oak Centre continues to innovate at the intersection of governance and technology, MyGovOnline.ai emerges as a transformative tool, one that invites citizens to engage meaningfully, encourages journalists to probe deeper and empowers lawmakers to listen, respond and lead with accountability.
