Buharimeter 3
The new survey was published on the performance of President Buhari – The respondents from different social groups were given questions about main issues in Nigeria like security, fight against corruption, economy 


– President Buhari received 84% of support on the fight against corruption – The highest number of citizens who support the incumbent leader are living in his home zone – The new security challenges that appeared in the country under Buhari are casting doubts on the ability to secure the entire federation Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Buharimeter, the initiative that monitoring and holding how President Muhammadu Buhari is implementing his promises, has provided a new survey on the performance of the incumbent government. In a statement signed by Idayat Hassan, director of Center For Democracy and Development (CDD), said that astonishing number of Nigerians now support President Buhari, Sahara Reporters says. The Buharimeter nationwide survey of citizens has found that 84% of Nigerians support the “approach” of President Buhari towards fighting the corruption in the Nigerian polity. The initiative asked a varied mix of Nigerians from different social groups and government officials on three major issues of corruption, economy and security. “A total number of 2,205 copies of the completed questionnaire (an average of 60 per state, except in Abuja where 20 were administered because it has only one senatorial zone) were returned from across the country. Data from the questionnaire were processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS),” the statement said.

Equally, the South East geo-political zone with 10.7% of citizens endorsing the president’s anti-corruption crusade, is the lowest for the national survey. The statement further points out three major problems: Anti-corruption “The first year Buharimeter report recalls that the president had promised to publicly declare his assets and liabilities and encourage all his political appointees to same. On this promise, Buharimeter reports that eight months after they declared their assets to the relevant institution, the president and his vice are yet to make public their asset declaration forms as they promised. Buharimeter similarly reports that ministers in the administration too are yet to follow suit with regards to the public declaration of their assets. “Notwithstanding the failure of most appointed officials to publicly declare their assets and liabilities, Buharimeter observes that since taking office, the President has demonstrated an unprecedented political will to fight corruption. “The new fight against corruption has targeted public office holders and civil servants in no small measure. The anti-corruption searchlight is being beamed on income-generating enterprises, the armed forces and other government institutions, political office holders, civil servants, private contractors, legal practitioners and individuals, all in a bid to recover looted funds and dismantle the setup that had hitherto engendered financial maladministration.” Economy “The gloomy state of the Nigerian economy, and its effects on citizens is also apparent from the low ratings the administration received in the Buharimeter national survey on the administration’s performance on the economy. According to the data from the Buharimeter national survey, nearly two-thirds of the respondents rate the government’s performance in employment generation as either “very poor” (39.8%) or “poor” (22%). On job creation therefore, the report concludes that the expectations of Nigerians have largely remained unmet.” Security “On security, however, the report notes that notwithstanding the gains recorded by the military in the North East, fresh security challenges, including the herdsmen-farmers clashes and rumblings in the Niger Delta are casting doubts on the ability of the Federal government to secure the entire federation.  Similarly, the agitation for the actualization of the state of Biafra as well as the resumed rumblings in the Niger Delta have added to the state of chronic insecurity in Nigeria.” READ ALSO: Town hall meeting to assess Buhari’s 1st year Buharimeter using the four categories achieved, not achieved, ongoing and not yet rated said that Buhari has achieved only one promise. 45 promises were rated as “ongoing”, while 179 were described as “not rated yet.” The report is part of the one year Buharimeter report, an independent governance tracking tool. Buharimeter, a web platform, was launched by the Centre for Democracy and Development, with support from the Open Society Initiative for West Africa, to ensure that President Buhari keeps to them.
