According to the latest Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG), Nigeria is the 33rd most governed Country in Africa.

The 2018 Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) is the 12 iteration of this Index, and is the most comprehensive annual statistical assessment of the quality of governance in 54 African countries.

The report supports good governance and leadership in Africa.

The four categories of governance as assessed by the Index are: Safety & Rule of Law, Participation & Human Rights, Sustainable Economic Opportunity and Human Development.

According to the study, African government have failed to translate economic growth into improved sustainable economic opportunity for their citizens.

"Since 2008 the African average score for Sustainable Economic Opportunity has increased by 0.1 point, an equivalent of only 0.2%, despite a continental increase in GDP of nearly 40% over the same period. There has been virtually no progress in creating Sustainable Economic Opportunity, meaning it remains the Index’s worst performing and slowest improving category." Mo Ibrahim Foundation

Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG)
From a total of 54 African countries in this years' index, Nigeria was ranked among the lowest in Africa, scoring a total of 47.9 out of 100 score. Somalia was at the bottom of the table as usual, while Mauritius had the highest regional average, Ghana was ranked 6th (second highest in West Africa), South Africa 7th and Kenya 11th .

Cape Verde was ranked 3rd, making them the best governed country in West Africa

The index of African Governance, which is released annually, gave Nigeria a score of 47 out of 100, which equates to the 33rd best score on the continent.

How Nigeria Was Ranked
Nigeria topped the continent in GDP size with $375,771 but flunked in safety and rule of law 38th out of 54 (46.4), performed fairly in Participation and human right 23rd (53. 2)., also performed fairly in Sustainable Economic Opportunity 29th (43.5) and totally flunked in Human development 34th (48.7 out of 100)

Speaking on why Nigeria had the highest GDP and yet flunked in Sustainable Economic Opportunity the index had this to say "There is no strong correlation between the size of a country’s GDP and scores in Sustainable Economic Opportunity. In 2017, four of the ten countries with the highest GDP on the continent score below the African average score for Sustainable Economic Opportunity and sit in the lower half of the rankings: Algeria, Angola, Nigeria and Sudan. Meanwhile, Cabo Verde and Seychelles have the 6th and 5th smallest economies on the continent yet have the 6th and 5th highest scores in Sustainable Economic Opportunity."

The Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) is an annually published index that provides a statistical measure of governance performance in 54 African countries.
