Abuja, Nigeria. September 2nd, 2014 – Latest governance poll results released by NOIPolls for the month of August 2014 revealed that 61% of adult Nigerians surveyed approve of the President’s performance where 41%approve and 20% strongly approve. This rating (currently being at par with the rating obtained in January 2014) represents a 1-point drop from July’s rating which was recorded at 62%. An assessment of the President’s performance on key elements of his transformation agenda revealed that the President received an average (3) rating in his performance on Job Creation, Power, Economy, Education, Health, Agriculture & Food Security, Transportation and Foreign Policy & Diplomacy except for Security which he performed poorly. Still based on his transformation agenda, the month of August saw a push in the President’s performance on Power and Economy to an average rating (3) following a continuous poor rating since February 2014. More findings revealed that slightly more than half 51% of adult Nigerians experienced an improved state of power supply to their households within the past one month. This figure illustrates the highest positive rating recorded in power supply from the inception of the NOIPolls power monitoring polls in January 2013. These are some of the key findings from theGovernance Snap Poll conducted in the week of August 25th 2014. These results represent the eighth in the 2014 monthly series of governance polls conducted by NOIPolls to gauge the opinions and perceptions of Nigerians regarding the approval rating of the President, the performance of the President on key elements of his transformation agenda, and the state of power supply in the country. Respondents to the poll were asked three specific questions. The first sought to assess the opinion of Nigerians on the performance of President Goodluck Jonathan over the past 1 month. Respondents were asked: Do you approve or disapprove of the job performance of President Jonathan in the past 1 month? The results revealed that 61% of adult Nigerians surveyed approve of the President’s performance where 41% approve and 20%strongly approve. A total of 26% of the respondents assessed disapprove of the President’s performance, where 18% disagree and 8% strongly disagree. Furthermore, 13% remained neutral as they neither approve nor disapprove. The South-East and the South-South zones accounted for the largest fraction of respondents who approve of the President’s job performance with 89% and 74% respectively. The North-Central and North-West zones have the highest proportion of respondents who were neutral with 20% and 17%. Also, the North-East zone and the North-West zone have the largest proportion of respondents who disapprove of the President’s job performance with 41% and38% respectively. Monthly trend analysis of the President’s approval rating reveals that the President’s approval rating remained almost stable with a slight decline by 1-point to stand at 61% in August 2014. This current result and that obtained in January 2014 both represent the second highest rating since NOIPolls started its governance poll in January 2013. Likewise, the average rating of the President’s job performance after 8 months is at 56.5%, this implies that the President performed above his 8- month’s average by 5-points. To gauge the performance of the President on pertinent elements of his transformation agenda, respondents were asked: On a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 is very poor and 5 is excellent, how would you rate the performance of the President Jonathan in the following areas? (1) Job Creation (2) Power (3) Economy (4) Health (5) Education (6) Agriculture & Food Security (7) Transportation (8) Foreign Policy & Diplomacy and (9) Security. The outcome shows that the President was rated average (3) in terms of his performance in Job creation, Power, Economy, Education, Health, Agriculture & Food Security, Transportation and Foreign Policy & Diplomacy except for Security which he performed poorly. This component of his transformation agenda has remained very poor since February 2014. Trend analysis indicates that the President’s performance rating on, Economy, Health, Agriculture & Food Security, Transportation and Foreign Policy & Diplomacy has maintained an average ranking (3) since February 2014. The month of August saw a push in the President’s performance on Power and Economy to an average rating (3) following a steady poor rating since February 2014. In contrast, the President’s performance rating on Security has remained very poor (1) since February 2014. Finally, to find out the state of power supply to Nigerian households over the past month, respondents were asked: How would you describe power supply in your area in the last 1 month? Findings revealed that 51% (16%+35%) of adult Nigerians surveyed reported that power supply in their area has either “ improved very much” or “a little” within the past one month. 32% (18%+14%) of the respondents were of the view that power supply “remains bad” and “it’s very bad, has gone worse”. Furthermore, 17% reported “there’s no difference at all” as it has neither improved nor gone worse. The majority across all geo-political zones experienced an improved state of power supply, however, the North-West zone has the highest number of respondents (58%:18%+40%) who experienced an improved power supply. The South-West zone has the greatest percentage(22%) of respondents who stated there’s no difference at all in the state of power over the past one month. Furthermore, the North-East zones accounted for the highest proportion of respondents who experienced a poor state of supply of power within the last one month with41%. The monthly trend assessment reveals a substantial 18-point increase in improvement on power supply in August from July 2014. This figure illustrates the highest positive rating ever recorded in power supply from the inception of the NOIPolls power monitoring polls till date 2014. The average in the power supply from January 2013 to August 2014 is currently at 36.8% indicating that the current result represents a significant 14.2-points above the average.

Abuja, Nigeria. June 11th, 2019 – NOIPolls presents its compilation of public opinion polls on a monthly series of presidential approval rating to appraise the performance of President Muhammadu Buhari in his first term as President. NOIPolls has been conducting these polls on a monthly series to evaluate the performance of Nigeria’s sitting president since January 2013. This has continued through the assumption of office of President Muhammadu Buhari. In Commemoration of the National Democracy Day on the 12th of June, 2019, we release figures from our monthly approval rating for the 4-year period (June 2015 to May 2019). The results revealed that the President’s scorecard was highest in his first year in office with an average of 63.9 percent. This could be influenced by his high rating in September and October 2015 with 78 and 80 percent respectively. On the other hand, the President’s performance was rated lowest in his fourth year in office with an average of 41.3 percent. Generally, the average approval rating of the president in his first term in office stands at 49.3 percent; with his latest rating of 36 percent in May 2019. Similarly, Nigerians also appraised the performance of President Buhari on specific indicators using a Likert scale of 1 to 5, where 1 represents ‘Very Poor’ and 5 represents ‘Excellent’. Starting off with his 3 cardinal policy thrusts: the president was rated 36 percent on Security; 27 percent on Corruption; and 16 percent on the Economy. Correspondingly, he scored 37 percent on Agriculture and Food Security, 26 percent on Power, 25 percent on Healthcare, 24 percent on Education, 22 percent on Infrastructure, 15 percent on Job Creation, and 13 percent on Poverty Alleviation. Averagely, the President was rated poorly on all indicators analysed in his first term in office. In conclusion, the President recorded an average performance of 49.3 percent in his first term in office. Similarly, the President was rated poorly on some specific indicators in his first four years in office. This is no surprise to us considering our constant interactions with the public and our numerous field visits across the country. For instance, job creation recorded a poor average of 15 percent in his first term in office and this may suggest that some Nigerians are unemployed. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Nigeria’s unemployment rate increased from 18.8 percent in the third quarter of 2017 to 23.1 percent in the third quarter of 2018.[1] Therefore, it is important for the government and other stakeholders to ensure that adequate job creation policies and social safety nets are mapped out and properly implemented to tackle unemployment and poverty in the country. METHODOLOGY & SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHICS NOIPolls – Nigeria’s premier public opinion polling firm, has been conducting a monthly series of approval ratings to gauge the opinions of Nigerians and measure the performance of the president since January 2013. The poll series for President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration commenced in June 2015; and is typically conducted on the last few days of every month to appraise the president’s job performance for the month. So far, 48 polls have been conducted in this series (June 2015 through May 2019). During this period, pollsters from NOIPolls have spoken to over 250,000 Nigerians, with 48,000 completed interviews across the country. The polls involved telephone interviews of a proportionate nationwide sample of 48,000 randomly selected phone-owning Nigerians aged 18 years and above (1,000 completed interviews per month), representing the six geopolitical regions and 36 states and the FCT of the country. Interviews were conducted in 5 languages – Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Pidgin English and English. Although we can say with 95% confidence that the results obtained were statistically precise (on a monthly basis) – within a margin of error of plus or minus 4.65%; we recognize that the exclusive use of telephone polling has its limitation of excluding non-phone-owning Nigerians. Nonetheless, with the country’s tele density put over 100 percent by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), we consider our telephone polling approach appropriate. Also, given the rigorous scientific process of randomization and stratification applied, we can confidently stand by the validity of our methodology and approach.
