Corruption Ranking: Why Nigeria recorded marginal improvement, maintained low score in 2023 CPI – CISLAC, TI

Nigeria gained a marginal one point to rank 145 among 180 countries in the new Corruption Perception Index (CPI) released by Transparency International (TI) on Tuesday.

Its new score of 25 in the 2023 CPI, which is up from the 24 it recorded in the previous ranking, is far below the Sub-Sahara African average of 33 points.

“Small fluctuations or changes in a country’s CPI score are not usually significant,” says TI.
