Nigeria is now the second most corrupt country in West Africa after Guinea-Bissau, Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2020 report says.
The current ranking indicates that Nigeria occupies the 149th position out of the 180 countries surveyed as well scored 25 out of 100 points.
The country’s ranking on the corruption perception index has continued to drop in the last four years.
The CPI is an annual survey report published by Berlin-based Transparency International since 1995 which ranks countries by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys.
