WELCOME

Welcome to Kingmakers’ State of States website. The main aim behind the State of States is to judge the performance of each state in Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and rank each of the states.

The rankings for 2020 is our second compilation and looks at the performances of the states during 2018. We used 47 different socioeconomic indicators, 14 up from the 34 we used in 2016, which were then grouped into 5 major categories to arrive at our final assessment. The categories include Economy, Education, Financial Health, Healthcare, and Living Standards.

We sourced our data from a number of public sources including several government agencies and NGOs. By applying big data analytic techniques to the data, we can present deeper insights to make up for gaps which would have hindered us from getting a clearer picture of how well the states are performing in carrying out their duties to the people.
