Nigeria plummets in World Happiness Index, drops 38 spots in six years

Nigeria has been ranked the third-worst country in good governance index by a group in Singapore.

In the inaugural Chandler Good Government (CGGI) Index released on Monday, Africa’s largest economy scored 0.319 points to rank 102 out of 104 countries considered in the report.

CGGI noted that the result reflected Nigeria’s strengths and weaknesses in institutions, laws, and leadership.

According to the group, 34 indicators which are organized into seven pillars – leadership and foresight, robust laws, and policies, strong institutions, financial stewardship, attractive marketplace, global influence and reputation; and helping people rise were the parameters used in arriving at the decision.
