In a groundbreaking achievement for public governance, Osun State has emerged as a beacon of financial accountability, scoring a perfect 100% in BudgIT Nigeria's Third Quarter 2025 Fiscal Transparency Report.

Governor Ademola Adeleke celebrated this landmark accomplishment as a 'fantastic New Year gift' for the people of Osun State, highlighting the administration's unwavering commitment to transparent and ethical public financial management.

The report ranked Osun among just 11 states nationwide to achieve a flawless transparency rating, marking the state's highest performance in over a decade. This achievement is particularly significant, as the assessment rigorously evaluates states on multiple critical parameters, including the availability, timeliness, and completeness of public finance documents.

Beyond fiscal transparency, he proudly noted additional achievements, including the state's first-place ranking in primary healthcare access in the South-West and a dramatic improvement from 33rd to 7th in national examination ratings.

Professor Moruf Adeleke, the Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, credited the achievement to the governor's leadership, stating that the rating demonstrates a government committed to running transparent fiscal processes in line with national and global best practices.

The comprehensive report assessed critical aspects of governance, including the functionality of e-procurement portals and the accessibility of fiscal data. By scoring a perfect 100%, Osun State has set a remarkable standard for public financial management that other states can aspire to emulate.

This recognition arrives at a critical moment, showcasing Osun State's transformation under Governor Adeleke's leadership and signaling a new era of accountability and trust in public institutions.
