TOS Foundation Unveils 469 Tracker: Shining a Light on Lawmakers’ Stance on Women’s Reserved Seats Bill
In a significant stride towards enhancing transparency and civic engagement, the TOS Foundation has officially launched the 469 Tracker. This innovative civic-tech platform is specifically designed to empower Nigerian citizens by providing real-time insights into the positions of National Assembly members concerning the critical Reserved Seats for Women Bill. Accessible to all at www.469tracker.com, the platform aims to democratize information, allowing the public to easily ascertain which senators and members of the House of Representatives support, oppose, or remain undecided on this pivotal legislation.
Bridging the Gap Between Citizens and Legislative Accountability
The 469 Tracker derives its name from the total count of federal lawmakers in Nigeria – 469 – symbolizing its comprehensive scope. More than just an information portal, it seeks to transform the often-opaque process of public accountability into an engaging, youth-led civic experience. Osasu Igbinedion Ogwuche, Founder of TOS Foundation and a leading voice in the Reserved Seats for Women Bill campaign coalition, highlighted the platform’s crucial role. “For too long, political participation has felt distant from young people and women. With 469 Tracker, we’re using technology and storytelling to make legislative accountability simple, and closer to our digital generation,” Ogwuche stated. This initiative empowers young Nigerians, whether at home or abroad, to navigate the website, select their state, and instantly view their representatives’ stances on the bill, fostering a direct connection to the legislative process.
The launch of the 469 Tracker marks a new era for political transparency in Nigeria, particularly concerning vital legislation like the Reserved Seats for Women Bill. By leveraging technology to make legislative positions readily available, the TOS Foundation is not only promoting accountability but also inspiring a new generation of Nigerians to actively participate in shaping their nation’s future and advocating for greater women’s representation in governance.
