A survey report by the Nigeria Social Media Week Group (NSG) has named Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde as Nigeria’s “most loved” and “most admired” state governor
The report, released at the end of the Nigeria Social Media Week, Q4, 2023 on Monday, October 2, 2023, focused on the general perception of Nigerians towards state governors and other political leaders in the last four years.
A statement by NSG Team lead for 2023, Dr. Kenneth Ogbonna, said Makinde emerged top on the list after a study of respondents drawn mainly from among youth enquiry clusters across the six geo-political zones of the country.
The report indicated that respondents chose Makinde from the final shortlist of state governors rated on the basis of performance, legacy achievements, accessibility, affability and acceptance in home State as well as national recognition and profile.
NSG commended Makinde for his landmark achievements in critical sectors including education and youth development, agriculture and agro-business, healthcare, road infrastructure, urban and rural development, aviation, culture and tourism among others.
The group which was in Ibadan, Oyo State capital as part of its activities for the Nigeria Social Media Week Q4 2023 particularly commended Governor Makinde for the recently commissioned 34.85 Oyo-Iseyin Road, the newly constructed Iseyin Campus of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, the ongoing construction of the 76.67 km Iseyin-Fapote-Ogbomoso Road among others.
Ogbonna explained that the Nigeria Social Media Week Group is an independent social media-based governance and leadership evaluation body focused on peer review and comparative study of leadership performance in Nigeria.
