On June 20th 2013, West African
NGO Network (WANGONeT) launched a web portal called
Anti-Corruption Internet
Database (ACID) www.antigraft.org, Nigeria’s first web repository for all
corruption related issues in the
country. According to Tunji Lardner, the
founder of WANGONet, the idea
of creating a website to monitor
and report corruption related
activities in Nigeria first came
into fruition 13 years ago, a period when internet access in
the country was still a novel
idea. He however reaffirmed that
the relevance of ACID today is
timely. The Anti-Corruption Internet
Database (ACID) aims to create
an informative and educative
corrupt practices data archiving
and reporting platform with
modern features for multi- dimensional public advocacy and
civic engagement in the fight
against corruption. ACID is a first step to ensuring
that Nigerians are able to rate
themselves as well as their
government leaders on efforts
made to curb corruption. The online portal which is
available on both web and mobile
application http:// www.antigraft.org has different strategic tools that everyone
can use to report corruption or
feel the pulse of corruption in
the country. To visit the website on your
