Transparency International had last Thursday released a report, which ranked Nigeria 146 out of 180 countries with a score of 26 out of 100. It painted a dismal picture of the country’s anti-corruption efforts by placing Nigeria as the second most corrupt country in the West African region. “The reality is that government has put in place several mechanisms to ensure transparency in the management of its financial affairs. “Not the least of the Buhari administration’s efforts to combat corruption is its unassailable political will to tackle the menace. ICPC is firmly persuaded that the silent majority of Nigerians appreciate the anti-corruption efforts of the government led by President Muhammadu Buhari even if TI does not.
