Good news: Nigeria has moved up
four places in the Transparency International corruption perception index (CPI)
for 2018, according to the latest report unveiled on Tuesday morning.
The country is ranked 144 out of
the 180 countries that were surveyed last year — an upward movement of four
places compared to 148/180 in 2017.
Nigeria’s score, however,
remained the same for the two years at 27/100.
In 2016, the country scored
28/100 and was ranked 136th.
In a statement released along
with the 2018 report on Tuesday morning, Patricia Moreira, managing director of
Transparency International, emphasised the need “to do more to strengthen
checks and balances and protect citizens’ rights” with many democratic
institutions “under threat across the globe”.
