About CGPI

The CIAPS Governance Performance Index (CGPI) is an initiative of the Commonwealth Institute of Advanced and Professional Studies, CIAPS.

CGPI was conceived as a catalyst for benchmarking, documenting, measuring and encouraging good governance in Nigeria.

With the CGPI we strive to provide a continuous, objective and transparent measurement of governance that will provide a true picture of how projects, organisations and institutions are managed.

Our hope is that the CGPI will help citizens, consumers and observers make informed decisions about governance and those in government will be able to use the CGPI to correct and improve measures.

This is a completely independent initiative and must remain so. No measured organization or individual is involved in the process and no measured organization or individual is allowed to donate anything beyond information to the CGPI.

The CGPI board wishes to publicly and emphatically announce that no individual or organization is authorized to solicit for or receive any form of assistance from any measured organization or individual and appeals to anyone aware of any form of solicitation for funds or any other kind of benefit to report such act to the police and the CGPI.
