The 2025 State of States Report Launch will unveil a decade-long analysis of subnational fiscal performance across Nigeria’s 36 states. The report explores the factors driving revenue growth and decline, identifies standout performers and underachievers, and presents practical, evidence-based recommendations for boosting state revenues in a fair, efficient, and productive way that benefits citizens nationwide.

The launch will bring together state and federal government officials, policymakers, economists, civil society leaders, development partners, academics, media representatives, and other stakeholders committed to improving fiscal governance in Nigeria.

Participants will engage in discussions around the report’s findings, exploring themes of growth, decline and middling performance in state finances. Key conversations will focus on actionable reforms, revenue diversification strategies, and collaborative approaches to ensuring sustainable, citizen-centred development.
