This year, Gombe State ranks 5th among the 36 states of the federation and 2nd among the 19 states of northern Nigeria with respect to transparency variables.

Commenting on the development, the Director-General of Research & Documentation, Associate Professor Muazu Shehu emphasized the transformation in Gombe’s accessibility to crucial information.

He said prior to Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya’s assumption of office in 2019, Gombe lacked a functioning website, which led to a deficit in accountability with citizens having no means to access vital data regarding governance, public finance, budgets, government audited accounts, and public procurement. This lack of online engagement channels hindered citizens from effectively holding the government accountable.

However, in a resolute commitment to establishing transparency and accountability, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya took the initiative to create a new official website for Gombe State. This website was meticulously designed with a strong focus on transparency, accountability, and citizen engagement. It incorporates features such as public procurement, budgeting, and government audited accounts, enabling citizens to access critical information about the state government.

Moreover, the platform provides avenues for citizens to interact with the government online, thereby empowering them to hold the government accountable. The website has evolved into a tool for promoting transparency and accountability in Gombe State.

Good, but let us not come here and be abusing each other on the basis of tribe.

It is good for Eikiti, and they should show other states how it is done, but at the end of the day, Nigeria, includIng Ekiti has a corruption problem.

We all need to improve.

P.S

I am not here to attack anyone's tribe, or abuse anyone. Again, congrats to Ekiti state.

Eki what

State wey be say their own rigging is exceptionally on a different level

A one party state so what will be transparent about that one

You guys are joking!!!

Godfullsam:
Ekiti top the most transparent state in Nigeria.

Go to court if you are not satisfied with the ranking

Was it the court that certified this

This was how you guys praised Ogun State to the high heavens about GDP

After Lagos, it's Ogun State you said

Today, Ogun State is a dumping ground with little or no good roads yet it is heavily industrialized

How you think people believe these lies is simply baffling
