'QGIS Choropleth Map

I am trying to make a simple choropleth map in QGIS. I have a shape file for my country (Egypt) at the governorate level as well as csv with my variable of interest. The csv has the name of the governorate as well as a lat/lon combo for a random point within the governorate.

I can add the csv file and get the points and shade each of the points based on my variable of interest. But what I really want is to shade the entire governorate based on the variable of interest. Is there a way to do this in QGIS or should I try it in R? Am open to advise on whatever approach is easiest.
