Sheet 01 / Public Works Desk
Public works, read like the drawings they were built from.
Summitvale tracks roads, water systems, power projects, and public buildings across Nigeria — publishing contract dates, published values, site visit notes, and agency responses in one record.

Sheet 02 / Method
A record, not a verdict.
Summitvale exists because public works are easier to trust when their paperwork is easy to find. We collect published contract values, timelines, and tender notices, then compare them against what a site visit actually shows — recording the gap plainly, without assuming intent.
- Every figure carries a named, checkable source
- Site visits are dated, described, and kept separate from opinion
- Implementing agencies are invited to respond, and their replies are published

Sheet 05 / Approach
Why we work this way
- We visit sites ourselves rather than relying on photographs alone
- We keep observation separate from interpretation in every note
- We give implementing agencies room to respond before publishing
