Five states will receive $3 million each in performance-based grants under the World Bank-supported HOPE Governance Programme after meeting key requirements aimed at improving budget planning and transparency in the education and primary healthcare sectors.
The National Coordinator of the programme, Dr. Assad Hassan, announced this on Tuesday at a retreat in Abuja attended by Commissioners, Permanent Secretaries and Directors of Budget and Planning from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
He said the incentive payments, amounting to $27 million, are tied to the successful implementation of specific governance reforms verified by an independent assessment team engaged by the programme.
According to Hassan, Bayelsa, Borno, Kano, Kebbi and Yobe states emerged as the top performers after meeting two major reform targets relating to budget planning for basic education and primary healthcare. Each of the five states qualified for $1.5 million under each target, bringing their total reward to $3 million.
He explained that the reforms required participating states to introduce standard guidelines for preparing and submitting annual work plans for education and primary healthcare budgets within the prescribed timeline.
Nine states also qualified for another round of incentives after ensuring that their local governments adopted harmonised budget guidelines and a uniform chart of accounts.
The benefiting states are Adamawa, Bayelsa, Borno, Delta, Gombe, Kano, Plateau, Taraba and Yobe, with each receiving $500,000.
In another category, 15 states met the conditions for publishing their 2025 Citizens’ Budgets for basic education and primary healthcare, making them eligible for grants of $500,000 each.
The states are Abia, Bayelsa, Borno, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Imo, Jigawa, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Nasarawa, Ondo, Plateau and Yobe.
Hassan said many states were unable to benefit because they failed to complete the required reforms before the deadline, did not satisfy key assessment conditions or failed to make the required documents available on their official websites.
“The disbursement is based on the findings and recommendations of the Interim Independent Verification Agent, which assessed the performance of states in meeting the Year Zero Disbursement-Linked Indicators,” he said.
He noted that the programme had also identified weaknesses that slowed implementation in several states, particularly the absence of effective coordination among relevant government institutions, which affected ownership of the reforms and their long-term sustainability.
The National Coordinator disclosed that the second phase of the Year Zero verification exercise is expected to be completed by July this year.
He said preparations had already begun for a comprehensive capacity-building programme that would provide technical support to states to improve their performance in subsequent assessments.
According to him, the HOPE Governance Programme is designed to improve how public funds are managed in basic education and primary healthcare by promoting transparency, strengthening accountability and ensuring that money allocated to the two sectors is used more effectively.
He added that the programme also supports better planning and implementation of annual budgets while helping governments address shortages of teachers and primary healthcare workers through improved recruitment and deployment.
The HOPE Governance Programme is a $500 million initiative supported by the World Bank to strengthen financing, accountability and service delivery in Nigeria’s basic education and primary healthcare sectors across the federal, state and local government levels.
