Media houses keep dishing out data up and down without mentioning the methodology used to draw such conclusions as if their researchers played truancy during their undergrads.

What do you mean by senators productivity ? Is Nigeria senate productive In the first place ? Bunch of criminals, rogues and looters in the Nigeria senate.

It isn't Rocket Science. Bills sponsored, that then becomes ratified as law, as one example, can be a measure of productivity of Senators per State.

So too the success rate of Senators at meeting needs of their constituency. Their engagement with the executive arm is also available to use as a measure of productivity etc.

How dare you refer to Ekiti as "Tiny"? Have you had an aerial view of the State before? State of honour!

Please be modest in your commentary, such that your language will not diminish your message.

Ekiti is the knowledge reservoir of the Nation so you don't expect anything short of excellence.

This must be Arise News judgement about Senators....
Rufai Oseni botanical journalistic view about senators perfomers.

lol so that woman Representing Abuja doesn't have anything to offer

How did those data come about? On what criteria was the data based? Which body brought those data?

Statistics should not just come out without being backed by authenticity.

You think the guy needs explanation? He just glanced through the list, noticed SE states are not at the top, and put on his sackclothe as is tradition.

What we have here is a reportage, a summarized conclusion.

Why not request for the detail and research methodology, rather than displaying your ignorance here

The expression Tiny for Ekiti state is baseless and senseless, Ekiti is bigger than some state in the east

See weyrey! Which one be botanical journalism again o.

So person wey study Animal Husbandry go be animalistic journalist, abi?
So, they will soon have " Musa species/plantain" abi amala journalist.

Person nor wan laff but Nairalanders nor go gree.

Arghhhh! Sen. Ireti kingibe but why nau......after all the criticism of the FCT minister......, one was expecting she'll be up there on the ranking..

My people you see ehn anything and anybody dem dem support that thing or person is definitely heading southward.

While it is possible but don't forget that FCT has just one senator while other states have three senators each. So no matter the work rate of the FCT senator, she might always come last as she is doing what three people are supposed to do.

First of all, what is senator productivity index and how is it calculated? There are 3 senators per state, what did they each contribute to the final figure? That's what research is and what such so called productivity index should include. Which kind of country is this where data is just thrown at us left right and centre without telling us how they came about it

Mods, please stop putting these stories with lazy reportage on front page. You're encouraging the trend. It is neither educative or informative

😂😂 I always wonder the kind of data we see today and how it was come about, very soon we may see data on which region goes to toilet most. The problem is that they may not tell us the methodology they use.

The one in FCT has lost focus,she is busy fighting instead of working,ironically, the person she is fighting is working instead of fighting.

The least the poster could have done is share the details of how this index is arrived at. What are the factors used to measure their productivity.

Lol. You are correct sha. Default character for those lot to always react negatively to anything they have not been proclaimed superior at. "Developer" and "dominator" mentality that is based on nothing at all.

They won't see this now o! Instead of calling their leaders to account na tinubu be their only issue. ☹️

This ranking reflects the aggregation of the productivity of senators from each state during plenary sessions in the first session of the 10th National Assembly. Productivity was measured through various legislative actions such as substantive and procedural motions, contributions to debates, petitions presented, points of order and privileges raised, motions for amendment, and bills sponsored etc. Each plenary action undertaken by a senator was documented to assess individual performance. Since each state is represented by three senators except the FCT, which has one, the combined legislative actions of these senators at plenary were aggregated to determine the overall national ranking of states.

For context, those are not points but the aggregation of legislative actions performed by each state at plenary in the first session of the 10th National Assembly. FCT has one senator compared to states having three each. For further insights, download the full report - https://ergafafrica.org/download/2158/?tmstv=1756217465
