2019 Corruption Perception Index: Nigeria drops two places on the CPI, ranks 146th

In 2019, the Transparency International ranked 180 countries on its Corruption Perception Index (CPI), which was basically predicated on the relationship between politics, money and corruption.[1] Traditionally, the participating countries were ranked on the scale of 0 to 100; where 0 score means highly corrupt and a score of 100 indicates the absence of corruption. Nigeria’s ranking on the CPI dropped from 144th (with a score of 27 points) in 2018 to 146th (with a score of 26 points) in 2019. Historically, Nigeria has not fared well in terms of global corruption ranking. The current position represents the worst performance relative to the country’s ranking of 139th out of 176 countries in 2012 (see Figure 1).

 

[1]The CPI measures the perception of experts and business people on the levels of public sector corruption.
