Nigeria Out Of Top 10 Most Corrupt Nations For The First Time In A Decade


  • Nigeria was not listed among the ten most corrupt countries in the rating just released by Transparency International.

    The country had consecutively been in the top ten for over a decade.
    Nigeria now occupies the 28th position in the latest ranking.

    The Corruption Perceptions Index ranked 176 countries on a scale of 0 (perceived to be highly corrupt) to 100 (perceived to be very clean).

    In the 2016 Corruption Perceptions Index released on Wednesday July 26 by the Berlin-based organisation, Somalia was ranked the most corrupt country in the world for the 10th straight year.

    The 2016 CPI, showed that 122 of the 176 countries ranked finished with a score below 50, which Transparency International identifies as having a “serious corruption problem.”
