Public affairs analyst and legal practitioner, John Ude, Esq., has criticized the United States' assessment of Nigeria's fiscal transparency. In a statement on Friday, Ude pointed out that the report, published by the US Department of State's 2026 Fiscal Transparency data, was flawed and presented an inaccurate picture of Nigeria's fiscal situation.
The report, which scored the Nigerian government poorly for fiscal honesty due to inadequate revenue and expenditure disclosures, was released on Tuesday. Ude argued that the US report should not be considered as a complete assessment of Nigeria's fiscal performance. While acknowledging that Nigeria had published the enacted budget, end-of-year report, and debt information, Ude stated that the report does not demonstrate significant progress in improving financial management in 2025.
He emphasized that there are still gaps in fiscal transparency, particularly in procurement disclosure, audit effectiveness, and the timely publication of certain fiscal documents.
