Transparency International (TI) has ranked Nigeria the 136th most corrupt country in the world and the 3rd most corrupt country in West Africa after Guinea and Guinea Bissau.
In its 2014 Transparency International Corruption Perception Index released yesterday, the group said it ranked 174 countries it surveyed based on how corrupt their public sector is presumed to be.
The measurement is based on a scale of 0 to 100 with a score of 0 perceived as “highly corrupt” and 100 “very clean”. Nigeria was ranked 136th with an index score of 27.
This record is Nigeria best ranking on Transparency International’s corruption perception index (CPI) under President Goodluck Jonathan.
Nigeria was ranked 144th in 2013, 139th in 2012 and 143rd in 2011 with the 2014 position bettering that of 2013 by eight places.
According to Transparency International’s report on corruption perception index for 2014, Denmark is the least corrupt country in the world as it ranked 1 of 175 nations surveyed, with Somalia and North Korea as the most corrupt nations of the world.
Denmark comes out on top in 2014 with a score of 92, while Nigeria scored 27, with North Korea and Somalia share last place, scoring just eight.
Nigeria rose by 2 points from the 2013 index, where it had 25 points and 27 in 2012, highlighting Nigeria’s fluctuating commitment to the eradication of corruption.
Botswana maintained its spot as the least corrupt country in Africa and the 31st least corrupt country in the world, with 63 points, dropping from 64 in 2013 and 65
South Africa was ranked the 67th least corrupt nation in the world, as against Africa’s biggest economy, Nigeria, which ranked the 136th least corrupt
Managing director, Transparency International, Cobus de Swardt, condemned the shoddy acts of governments and business owners around the world, saying that, “None of us would fly on planes that do not register passengers, yet we allow secret companies to conceal illegal activity. Public registers that show who really owns a company would make it harder for the corrupt to take off with the spoils of their abuse of power,” Swardt said.
