The 2022 Nigeria Social Cohesion Survey (#NSCS2022) was designed to build upon the two past editions (2019 and 2021). It is a National Citizens Perception Survey, undertaken by Africa Polling Institute (API), with support from Ford Foundation.
This current edition captures attitudes and perceptions of citizens using 13 key indicators (which also served as Subindices for computing the Index). The broad aim of the survey is to general credible and scientific data to simulate constructive policy dialogue on how to address existing conflicts, design peacebuilding initiatives and enhance mutual trust between the government and the governed.
We consider this report is very mealy and important, especially as Nigeria faces another round of General Elections in the next few months.
