Nigeria who previously held the 3rd position for the best performing
institutions in Africa has fallen drastically to the 26th position in
the 2017 Africa Competitiveness Report released by the World Economic
Forum last week.
Rwanda tops Africa’s best performing institutions,
followed by Mauritius and Botswana, which have also been named in the
list of 32 African countries assessed for the performance of their
institutions.
Although, it was stated that the general performance of institutions in Africa was low 'but is slowly improving.'
The report said the improvement witnessed in some countries although
impressive, faced major setbacks including the inability of leaders to
respond to the demands of the growing youth population.
