Nigeria Corruption
Corruption remains a pervasive challenge in Nigeria, undermining development and public trust.
Despite anti-corruption efforts, the country ranks 140/180 on the 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) with a score of 26/100. Systemic issues like bribery and embezzlement persist across sectors, costing billions annually.
Recent reforms, including e-governance and special anti-corruption courts, show progress.
A 2023 UNODC survey notes 70% of Nigerians refused bribes, and formal reporting of corruption rose to 45%.
However, weak institutions and elite impunity hinder change.

Economic Impact: $18bn lost yearly; 37% GDP loss by 2030 if unchecked.
Sectors Affected: Judiciary, procurement, oil, and security rife with graft.
Progress: E-governance, special courts cut case times from 8 to 3-4 years.
Challenges: Political clientelism, weak enforcement fuel impunity.
