The index is the third consecutive annual assessment that examines the level of transparency and accountability operational in the management of public funds and implementation of public policies in all 36 states.

A new report by the Paradigm Leadership Support Initiative , a civic organisation promoting accountability in Nigeria, has placed Akwa Ibom and Yobe as top states in its Subnational Audit Efficacy Index for 2022.

Delta and Edo states are behind scoring 48 per cent each; Ebonyi and Osun States gained 46 per cent each while Ekiti and Gombe states got 45 per cent each to stay in the top ten groups. Mr Elemo added that the PLSI research team collected, examined, and validated data provided by Offices of Accountant-General, Supreme Audit Institutions, Public Accounts Committees, and Civil Society Organisations in all 36 States.

PLSI said it leveraged evidence from a previous assessment to provide two-year assistance to five states through the “strengthening public audit practices and accountability at the state level in Nigeria” project supported by the MacArthur Foundation.The SAE Index 2022 report showed that only 2 out of 36 states have made progress toward implementing financial autonomy for the office of the Auditor-General.

Similarly, only 2 out of 36 states are sufficiently involving civic and media actors in the audit process of their states.
