Nigerians React As Ebonyi Achieves 5th-Place In Fiscal-Transparency Rankings (Details)

Ebonyi State has been ranked 5th out of 36 states of the federation in the recent States Fiscal Transparency League Table for the first quarter of 2024, as released by BudgIT.

The accountability rating is based on several factors which cumulatively score each state accordingly.

This was contained in a statement made available to journalists on Saturday by Governor Francis Nwifuru’s Special Assistant on New Media, Leo Ekene Oketa, in Abakiliki.

The previous rating saw Ebonyi State in 8th position. The leap to 5th position, accordion to Oketa, is proof of the conscientious effort by the Ebonyi State Government to raise the bar in transparency and prudence in the management of resources.
