The States Competitiveness and Investment Readiness Awards (SCIRA), an initiative of BusinessDay Media Limited, is a data-driven platform that evaluates and recognises Nigerian states based on their economic performance and investment readiness. Using key indicators such as internally generated revenue, foreign direct investment, infrastructure, and social sectors, SCIRA converts government performance into clear signals for investors. Beyond recognition, it connects high-performing states with investment opportunities, enhancing visibility, credibility, and long-term economic growth.
