The Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Integrity Watch, in collaboration with the MacArthur Foundation, has ranked Lagos State Fourth among the 36 States of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory on the 2023 Transparency and Integrity Index.
The index, which was released early this month, ranked the states in terms of compliance with the TII (Transparency 10 and Integrity Index) variables.
According to the comprehensive data released, Lagos State, with a score of 52.75%, improved in its overall metrics of transparency and integrity, coming only behind three other states.
This tremendous improvement indicates progress in the State’s policy formulation and implementation as well as strategic efforts to advance good governance.
This index measures the extent to which States and Federal Government Websites disclose information related to good governance within the public domain.
The data revealed that the TII score for the year 2023 witnessed an upswing, ascending from 58.74% to 61.32% in the current assessment period.
