Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigeria has again fallen by four places on the latest Corruption Perception Index, CPI, ranking released by Transparency International, TI, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Although in the 2022 ranking, Nigeria scored 24 out of 100 points, it fell from 150th to 154th out of 180 countries assessed in the 2022 ranking.<\/p>\n

The CPI is TI\u2019s tool for measuring the levels of corruption in the systems of various countries around the world. A country can score maximum points 100 points, and the least is zero. Zero signifies the worst-performing government, and 100 is the best-ranked.<\/p>\n

The latest ranking may indicate that President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s fight against corruption has yet to yield enough results.<\/p>\n

Many consider the Buhari administration\u2019s pardon granted to two jailed former governors \u2013 Joshua Dariye of Plateau State and Jolly Nyame of Taraba State \u2013 in 2022 as a significant setback in the country\u2019s anti-corruption efforts.<\/p>\n

As the two former governors were pardoned in April 2022, the Supreme Court affirmed their convictions and sentencing, and they had yet to serve half the length of their jail time.<\/p>\n

Also, corruption has continued to permeate the public and private sectors despite the government\u2019s efforts to deter the menace.<\/p>\n

Transparency International Chair, Delia Rubio, said governments worldwide have failed to progress against corruption.<\/p>\n

Rubio called for all governments to work for all people, not just an elite few.<\/p>\n

\u201cCorruption has made our world a more dangerous place. As governments have collectively failed to progress against it, they fuel the current rise in violence and conflict \u2013 and endanger people everywhere. The only way out is for states to do the hard work, rooting out corruption at all levels to ensure governments work for all people, not just an elite few\u201d, Rubio stated.<\/p>\n
