Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), on Thursday, revealed the staggering extent of corruption in Nigeria, revealing that an estimated 87 million bribes, totaling N700 billion, were paid in 2023 alone.
This is similar to an earlier figure issued by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), that more than N700 billion was paid in cash as bribes by citizens to public officials in 2023.
The two agencies however, failed to reveal the sources of these figures, or how they arrived at them.
