ABEOKUTA — Ogun State has been ranked as the second best-performing state in Nigeria in the 2025 State Performance Index (pSPI) released by Phillips Consulting, reinforcing what analysts describe as steady progress under Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration.
The ranking places Ogun State just behind Lagos State, with Kaduna, Adamawa and Niger completing the top five in the nationwide assessment.
According to the report, the index evaluates state performance using a combination of governance data and citizen perception surveys, covering key sectors such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, fiscal management and economic development.
