Nigeria has improved in its Corruption Perception Index (CPI), moving five places up to rank 145 out of 180 countries assessed.
In the report released on Tuesday, January 29, by Transparency International (TI), Nigeria gained one point to its previous 24 points, pushing it up to 25 points out of the 100 maximum points in the 2023 CPI results. Nigeria has now moved 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”.
