Governors of Kaduna and Sokoto, Nasir el-Rufai and Aminu Tambuwal, respectively, have been adjudged the best performing governors for the month of October.
The evaluation was conducted by the Centre for International Advanced and Professional Studies (CIAPS)
The Governors of Kogi, Yobe, Ebonyi, Zamfara and Akwa Ibom, according to the monthly performance review, are Nigeria’s worst performing states governors for October.
The monthly review, evaluation and ranking is based on a comparative analysis of Governors performance in Nigeria.
The study tagged CIAPS Governors Performance Index (CGPI) is a monthly review of the activities of state governors.
CGPI coordinator, Olumuyiwa Ayoola explained that the variables used as indexes for performance were mathematically calculated and October’s variables have been skewed to place emphasis on “Payment of Salary, New Projects, Education, Security and Leadership by example”.
Ayoola explained further that the action of each state governor was monitored and studied from their first day of the month and the findings were graded and compared to that of fellow governors across the country.
Weighing-in on the study, the CIAPS Director and the CGPI Chair, Prof. Anthony Kila, said: “CGPI is a useful tool for democracy and good governance as it allows government to be objectively measured against their peers and compels all in power to be mindful of accountability.”
“The variables used for measuring governors performance this month (October) takes into account that most of the state governors are new to office while some have been there for a longer period of time.”
