๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Another voice that built the journey Here, @inniey, our immediate past Head of Research & Policy Advisory, unpacks what the #StateofStates report means for Nigeria. He explains how it goes beyond data to spark subnational competitiveness, serving as a mirror that reflects when states thrive and exposing the gaps when they fall behind. For him, it represents a decade-long push to make budgets speak louder than promises. Hear his reflections on how this flagship report has shaped fiscal accountability across the country.
