Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari has performed poorly in governance, economic and political transformation, according to the BTI 2022 Country Report.<\/p>\n

The Bertelsmann Transformation Index (BTI) measures the development status and governance of political and economic transformation processes in developing and transition countries.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1977, the report is published biennially by Bertelsmann Stiftung, an independent establishment based in Gu\u0308tersloh, Germany.<\/p>\n

More than 250 experts from leading academic institutions and civil society organizations worldwide assessed 137 nations.<\/p>\n

Nigeria is 108th overall: 86th spot for political transformation, 113th for economic transformation, and 99th for governance index.<\/p>\n

The 31-page report warns that under \u201cthe weak leadership\u201d of President Buhari, dangers in all political fields will persist and continue to shape the system.<\/p>\n

It said after the lawsuits against the 2019 presidential and gubernatorial election results were dismissed, Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) consolidated power but have failed to meet expectations.<\/p>\n

Noting that the last presidential election \u201cwas seriously flawed\u201d, BTI said Buhari\u2019s poor performance in his first term \u201ccontinued and even worsened\u201d.<\/p>\n

The body criticized the President\u2019s COVID-19 policies, as well as \u201chis inability to professionalize the military in its campaign against the Islamist insurgency\u201d.<\/p>\n

The report said the military suffered repeated setbacks and faced new challenges in central Nigeria and in the northwest.<\/p>\n

\u201cHundreds of people have been killed by organized criminal gangs involved in cattle rustling, looting villages and kidnapping for ransom.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe increase in violence and crime indicates that endemic corruption has reached new heights, and the militarization of state and society is increasing,\u201d it observed.<\/p>\n

BTI said the Buhari administration\u2019s \u201conly halfheartedly pursued anti-corruption campaign did not yield any significant results\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) released annually by Transparency International (TI), Nigeria is currently placed 149 out of 180 countries evaluated.<\/p>\n

BTI recalled how the peaceful End SARS protests against police brutality and the government \u201cwere hijacked by hoodlums and criminals\u201d and \u201cturned into mayhem\u201d.<\/p>\n

The experts found violence throughout northern Nigeria increased again and continues to claim jihadists, security forces and civilians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe multidimensional violent conflict with various groups of insurgents has spread fast to the border areas of the neighboring states.\u201d<\/p>\n

BTI said people in southern Nigeria remain in the sphere of influence of border conflict, piracy, kidnapping and robbery.<\/p>\n

The report decried the authorities\u2019 incoherent policy to bring succor to millions of internally displaced persons (IDPs).<\/p>\n

It stressed that judging by the attitude, \u201cthe international community will have to assume responsibility for these IDPs\u201d.<\/p>\n

The humanitarian crisis in Nigeria heightened over the past few months due to flooding, partly caused by climate change.<\/p>\n

In its updated November 2022 report, the United Nations (UN) indicated that more than 3.2 million people are affected, amid food crisis fears.<\/p>\n

There were over 600 fatalities, and 1.4 million people displaced, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).<\/p>\n

Also, about 14,000 people have been affected by cholera in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (BAY) States since January, with 443 deaths.<\/p>\n

The UN says the flooding increases risk of waterborne diseases, and while 4.1 million people face severe food insecurity, 1.74 million children may suffer from malnutrition this year.<\/p>\n
