Check The Level Of Corruption Around The World As Nigeria Was Ranked as 136

Nigeria ranked below such African countries like Botswana, Cape Verde,

Mauritius, Namibia, Rwanda, Ghana and Tunisia.



This result is caused by the good governance body, which mission is to

stop corruption and promote transparency, accountability and integrity

at all levels and across all sectors of society.



According to the latest report provided by Transparency International

(TI) Nigeria has been ranked the 136th most corrupt nation out of the

174 countries.



The TI's Corruption Perceptions Index ranks countries and territories

based on how corrupt their public sector is perceived to be. According

to the organisation, a country or territory's score indicates the

perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0 (highly

corrupt) to 100 (very clean). A country or territory's rank indicates

its position relative to the other countries and territories in the

index.



José Ugaz who is the chairman of the global anti-corruption body says:

"The 2014 Corruption Perceptions Index shows that economic growth is

undermined and efforts to stop corruption fade when leaders and high

level officials abuse power to appropriate public funds for personal

gain".
