Nigeria has been ranked the 57th best country
in the world according to the inaugural “Best
Countries” ranking. The inaugural ranking was compiled by U.S.
News & World Report, the University of
Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and global
brand consultants BAV Consulting. The report ranks the 60 best countries in the
world by considering 75 factors such as
sustainability, adventure, cultural influence,
entrepreneurship and economic influence. Mortimer B. Zuckerman, the chairman and
editor-in-chief of U.S. News said the ranking
would help citizens and business leaders to
have a better knowledge of the competitive
business world. “Globalization has made the world a
competitive place for business, influence and
the quality of life. Just as we have done with
universities, hospitals and other institutions,
our Best Countries portal will be a global
homepage for stories and data to help citizens, business leaders and governments evaluate
performance in a rapidly changing world.” The countries that made the top ten ranking
are: Germany
Canada
United Kingdom
United States
Sweden
Australia Japan
France
Netherlands
Denmark The highest ranked country in Africa is South
Africa in 31 position followed by Morocco in
35, Egypt in 39, Tunisia in 47, Nigeria in 57 and
Algeria rounding off the ranking at 60. Nigeria’s GDP was listed as $522 billion and the
GDP per capita at $6,031. Nigeria ranked very low under the category of
Citizenship with the country receiving a score
of zero in the trustworthy sub-category. Nigeria however performed well in the “Open
For Business” category due to cheap
manufacturing cost although the country was
scored a woeful 10 over ten in the corruption
sub-category.
