Outstanding Public Officers In Nigeria Since 1999 by Jarus(m): 6:22pm On Oct 02, 2013
To me, Fashola is the best public officer Nigeria has produced since return to civil rule in 1999

Others that posted (post) decent performance (by our low standard in Nigeria), by my reckoning:

1, Umaru Yar'adua (reversal of VAT, refinery sale, price hike, asset declaration etc)
2, Barth Nnaji (decent effort in power reforms)
3, Sule Lamido (good capital projects efforts, even if a bad politician)
4, Rotimi Ameachi (Decent capital projects efforts in his state)
5, Godswill Akpaebo ( Even if I don't like his politics, I admit he tried for his state. I've been to his state; best raod network of all the about Nigerian states I have visited)
6, Nasir el-Rufai (Not his biggest fan either, but I salute his efforts in FCT)
7, Nuhu Ribadu (You can argue he was selective, but you can't argue his victims were innocent. Plus he returned $15m Ibori bribe)
8, Lamido Sanusi (I commend his work in CBN)
9, Charles Soludo (His attention to ethics may be questionable, but you can't fault his achievement in terms of strenghtening our financial system)
10. Attahiru Bafarawa (I served in Sokoto state,and msut confess he did well for hsi people in terms of capital projects. Good roads everywhere)
11, Rauf Aregbesola (You can fault his politics - can be loud-mouthed, intervening in what doesn't concern him - but you can hardly deny his commitment to the uplift of his people. I was in Osun in August and the whole state looked like one big construction yard, road projects everywhere, despite meagre resources)
12, Ifeuko Omoigui (Decent and silent reform in FIRS; enlarged revenue base for Nigeria)
13, Donald Duke: Decent performance, mature leader


These are the guys I can give pass mark (50%) of all the public officers (elected or appointed) since 1999. There are others I have herad or read about (e.g Kayode Fayemi, Rochas Okorocha, Peter Obi), but I'm not convinced yet.


Strictly my opinion as a watcher of events in the country.

Personally, i think this list is very flawed. Apart from Soludo, Akpabio and Omogui, El Rufai and maybe Nnaji(he didn't stay for long), i don't see what others are doing there. Where's Akunyili, Donald Duke, Iweala, Fashola?

You are an APC man ...so you are forgiven for this highly flawed analysis.
Wtf is Arebesulaa is doing there? LMAO @ yara'dua at no1. I thought you people called him baba go slow.
Akpabio is the best for me , because i went to Akwa ibom in 1999, the place was a village . For him to transform the place from what i saw in 1999 to what is today for a Nigerian politician beggars belief . I'm talking about totally turning around a state full of bushes in 1999 to the most visible state in the country and not just fixing up an already developed state
Fashola is trying...Lagos has always being there........

I like the use of the phrase "to me" in the intro which connotes subjectivism.

he may be a bad, divisive politician, but I give it to him, he did well in his state. I have been there. Uyo has the best raod networks in Nigeria, of all the about 20 states I have visited. Maybe only FCT has better roads.

Chinedu Nebo...Current Minister of Power, for his role in revamping UNN. though I graduated before he assumed the position of VC, that guy did well in his time.

With him, there's hope in the power sector.
