List Of Five Alleged Outstanding Governors
As Nigerians countdown to the expiration of the present administrations both at the state and federal level, Naij.com has compiled a list of governors, who allegedly performed above average in the last four years.

Read below:

1. Governor Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom, PDP): A man of many firsts, Akpabio used his magic wand to turn around an hitherto sleepy state into a centre of attraction in the nation. His massive investments in infrastructure, sports, education and youth empowerment are well documented. On assumption of office, he vowed to ensure that Akwa Ibom youths are not used as house helps in major cities across Nigeria. He has delivered on this front as his youth empowerment programmes have adequately engaged a lot of people. The Akwa Ibom Carnival, the Akwa Ibom township stadium, the Uyo International Airport, the Akwa Ibom Christmas Carol choir; listed in the Guiness World Book of Records and the support for Akwa Ibom youths in the entertainment industry are just a few legacies that Akpabio will be leaving behind. Indeed, Godswill has been done in Akwa Ibom State.

2. Governor Babatunde Fashola (Lagos, APC): A first class administrator, Fashola will be leaving Nigeria’s mega-city much better than he met it. From traffic management to waste management down to infrastructural investments. Fashola has shown that Lagos can work if the right people are in the right positions. One of the reasons why the revered Senior Advocate of Nigeria succeeded in his position is because he stayed away from active politicking. He focused on the issues of governance and gave way for his predecessor, Bola Tinubu, to handle the political front. This arrangement gave him the needed 100% focus in managing the affairs of the state. Fashola will be leaving office with his head high this week.

3. Ibrahim Shema (Katsina, PDP): He has succeeded in filling the very big shoes left by his predecessor and former president, late Umaru Musa Yar’adua. Shema, just like Yar’adua will be leaving a healthy bank balance for his successor and is the only governor in Nigeria today that is leaving office without any form of debt hanging on his administration. The former deputy chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party implemented people-friendly programmes in the state, which benefited many of his people. One area where he has been hailed constantly is, his immense contributions to the state’s agricultural sector. Realising that it had a large farming population, Shema used his connections in Abuja to team up with the agricultural ministry and various development partners in ensuring that farmers in the state got the right incentives to help their businesses grow.

4. Sullivan Chime (Enugu, PDP): A silent achiever, his health challenges which almost ruined his government did not deter him from fulfilling his promises to Enugu people. Chime embarked on a major infrastructural drive to change the face of Enugu and he has been commended by analysts for a job well done. A conservative politician, who is known for less talk, more action. He is not the type who spend huge funds in the media celebrating his achievements or gather VIPs to commission projects executed by his administration. He is also not known for criss-crossing the entire nation unlike some of his colleagues, as he is most times in Enugu conducting the affairs of the state and indeed delivering on the dividends of democracy.

5. Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano, APC): Kwankwaso is synonymous to excellence. That is why his famous ‘Kwankwasiya movement’ in the commercial city of Kano is very popular and has a large number of followers. Unlike his first stint as governor, Kwankwaso has delivered on all fronts to

The list is incomplete without Ochendo (theodore orji), the best governor ever in d history of SE. I suggest PDP nominate him as VP in 2019 "if they want to defeat buhari". His "good-works" in Abia earned him a senatorial seat.


QOUTE ME, AND JOINT EFFORT OF AMADIOHA AND SANGO STRIKE U DOWN.

I personally rate Fashola above Akpabio (although I hate to admit it because I hate APC). Fashola touched more sectors in infrastructure development than Akpabio.
Akpabio barely developed infrastructure projects in the water and social housing sectors while Fashola did. Akpabio focused more on massive road construction and real estate/tourism development(which is not a bad plan) but these things don't develop state's social and human capital. I just wish Akpabio invested more in social infrastructure like public housing projects, potable public water supply and public transportation.

On Sullivan, I think he's being hindered by the little financial resources exposed to the state. Even with that, he's still the best governor in the south east. I remember he had a free wifi project back in 2008 for the city of enugu. I don't know if it still works.

I don't know about the other governors because I've never visited their states but i believe others can vouch for them.

In general, I'm disappointed at the poor performance of all state governors in Nigeria. I find it shocking that no state governor in Nigeria was able to provide constant potable water supply for its homes during the past eight years despite the better financial resources accrued to them.
Postal addressing systems in most states are inefficient and sometimes non existent.
Town and city planning are too poor in most Nigerian states. These are issues that make a state and its capital habitable but almost all state governors overlook them.

Our state governors need to buckle up.

I think I agree with the list.. Barring any new information I don't know about

Looking forward to c d list for d worst Governors e.g
Idris wada of kogi state or
Gabriel suswan of benue state

This list is trash without the best governor in Nigeria wich is Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi
In terms of job creation and youth empowerment. his unprecedented employment of over 13,000 teachers and over 400 doctors is a phenomenal achievement for any governor in Nigeria. his youth empowerment program through RSSDA is top notch. In education he built the best primary and secondary schools in the country (over 500). in health he built the best primary and secondary health centers in the country (over 100). In security he virtually saw militancy off in Rivers state and stopped cultism in Rivers tertiary institutions. In Agriculture his Songhai farm initiative is an epic agric revolution. In infrastructure he transform the landscape of Ph and its environs. dualise most major Roads and constructed inner streets with drainage and walk way( D-line part of ph comes to mind)
Amaechi is a phenomenon

Crap. Amaechi is a failure.
