Ogun State is ranked second nationwide in the 2025 State Performance Index (pSPI) released by Phillips Consulting, according to two Nigerian outlets. The ranking places Ogun behind Lagos State and evaluates states using multiple criteria, including governance, economic performance, infrastructure development, and citizen wellbeing. Both reports present the pSPI as a comprehensive assessment of state performance across these areas. Vanguard also links the result to ongoing progress during Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration, describing it as steady improvement. Premium Times similarly highlights Ogun’s placement as the second best performing state and reiterates that the index reflects performance across governance and socioeconomic indicators. The sources agree that the pSPI is the basis for the ranking and that Ogun’s position is second overall nationally, with Lagos listed as the top state in the 2025 assessment.
