Governance approval rating in 4-month streak of decline

Approval rating for the government slipped for the fourth consecutive time this year to 36% in May.

That’s 10 percentage points down from 45% in March, the latest monthly Governance Poll by NOIPolls shows.

It is the fourth decline in approval rating for the government since a record 53% in January.

That January, only 36% of Nigerians disapproved of the government's handling of the country.

That figure steadily rose to 42% the next month, 45% in March and now stands at 59% in May.
