Nigeria Governance and Corruption Survey and Corruption Awareness Programme, An Evaluation

摘要

It is now common knowledge that Nigeria is one of the 10 most corrupt countries in the world. This general perception about Nigeria both at home and abroad, though uncharitable may not be inaccurate. It is also generally agreed that corruption is an obstacle to good governance and hard-work in both private and public sectors of the economy and therefore a major hindrance to development. With the Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, promising in 1999 that fighting corruption would be a major focus of his administration, the USAID, with the support of World Bank (IBRD) and the blessing of the Government of Nigeria (GON), initiated some programmes of activities to assist the GON in realizing its objective of fighting corruption.
