As BudgIT unveils its 2025 State of States Report, Anambra State takes the crown as Nigeria’s undisputed leader in fiscal performance, a resounding affirmation of what progressive leadership can achieve.
Rising from second place in 2024 to claim the top spot this year, Anambra has outshone economic powerhouses like Lagos, which held steady at second, and emerging contenders such as Kwara (third), Abia (fourth), and Edo (fifth).
This is not just another ranking from a speculative consulting armchair; it is an authentic affirmation of sustainable development, and at its helm is Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, whose strategic foresight and resourceful management have silenced detractors and propelled the state into a new era of sustainability.
