Buhari’s job performance evaluation increases by five point – NOIPoll

President Mohammadu Buhari’s performance rating has increased by five point according to a poll conducted by NOIPolls Limited.

The results of the poll which was made known to vanguardngr.com indicated that the increases was due to the President’s return from medical leave, his Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, the Central Bank’s policy intervention on foreign among others.

NOIPolls revealed that with the 5-point increase Buhari’s job performance evaluation for the month of March 2017 now stands at 55 percent in March, 2017

NOIPolls Limited also revealed that the marginal increase was laudable but massive inroads still have to be made in terms of curbing inflation and poverty rates which still remain the highest reason for disapproval of the President’s job performance.

And that Buhari’s government must focus on the adequate implementation of recommendations outlined by the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan to ensure sustainable economic growth and national development.

NOIPolls Limited also said that the rise in the President’s job performance rating was seen across the six geo-political zones and the North-East zone with 31-points had the highest proportion of Nigerians in this category.

Findings revealed that the rationale for approval of the President’s job performance was centered around the perceived ‘slight reduction in the prices of goods and services’ (25 percent), ‘improved level of security’ (20 percent) and ‘slight improvement in the economy’ (15 percent) amongst other positive reasons.

Conversely, 35 percent of the respondents who disapproved of his job performance reported ‘general hardship and high poverty rate’ (40 percent), ‘high cost of goods and services’ (25 percent) and ‘worsening state of the economy’ (15 percent) as reasons for their disapproval.

These are some of the key findings from the Governance poll conducted by NOIPolls in the week commencing 27th March 2017.
