The Nigerian Communications Commission and the North East Development Commission have emerged among Nigeria’s best-performing public institutions in a new Fiscal Responsibility and Institutional Performance Report released by the Transparency Watch Initiative.
The report, unveiled on Friday, assessed federal agencies based on fiscal discipline, transparency, regulatory efficiency, project execution, public responsiveness, and measurable contributions to national development goals.
Speaking on the findings, Head of the Transparency Watch Initiative, Dr. Ifure Ataifure, said the ranking reflects the growing importance of accountability and institutional performance in public governance.
According to the report, the NCC and NEDC secured the highest ratings, ahead of several other major government institutions, including the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority, Nigerian Ports Authority, Federal Inland Revenue Service, Debt Management Office, Nigeria Customs Service, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, Rural Electrification Agency, and the National Identity Management Commission.
Ataifure particularly commended the NCC for maintaining high standards in regulatory oversight and digital sector development.
“The NCC remains one of the strongest examples of regulatory efficiency within Nigeria’s public sector,” he said.
He added that the commission’s role in expanding broadband penetration, improving communications stability, and driving digital access has continued to strengthen Nigeria’s economy and position the telecommunications sector as one of the country’s most resilient growth drivers.
