Oyo State now ranks as the state with the poorest level of fiscal transparency in the country, OYOINSIGHT.COM can report.
The abysmal state of fiscal transparency exhibited by the Seyi Makinde led administration was revealed in the latest ranking of States Fiscal Transparency League Table released by BudgIt.
This new ranking covers the final quarter of the last fiscal year.
“In Q4 2024, fiscal transparency among Nigerian states showed significant variation, influencing their rankings on the States Fiscal Transparency League (SFTL) table.
“The evaluation assessed the availability and completeness of critical fiscal documents, the functionality of state websites and e-Procurement portals, and the timeliness of their publication,” a statement by BudgIt noted.
The implication of the poor ranking is that, compared to other states in the country, Oyo State government makes the least effort to enable the public hold them accountable on fiscal and budgetary issues.
