Nigeria has recorded an improved ranking in the latest Corruption Perception Index (CPI) released by Transparency International (TI), moving five places up to rank 145 out of 180 countries assessed.

According to the report Nigeria also gained one point added to its previous 24, ending up scoring 25 out of the 100 maximum points in the 2023 CPI results, apart from moving five places up from its 150th position.

Arguably the most widely used global corruption ranking in the world, the CPI measures how corrupt each country’s public sector is perceived to be.

It uses a scale of zero to 100, where zero means “highly corrupt” and 100 means very clean”.

“Our research and work with partners in over 100 countries suggests that governments seeking to tackle corruption, promote justice and strengthen the rule of law should”, TI noted
