Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Nigeria has been ranked as the third-worst governed country in the world.
The report by CGGI ranked Nigeria very low in governance, leadership, and foresight, scoring the country 102 out of 104 countries with a score of 0.319 points, ahead of Zimbabwe and Venezuela.
The 2021 report noted that the ability to handle corruption properly is the strongest indicator of good governance.
In a related development, Transparency International (TI) released its 2020 Corruption Perception Index, with Nigeria now ranked 149 out of 180 countries analysed.
According to the organisation, the country's latest position is three steps lower than the rank of 146 in 2019. It also indicates that Nigeria's latest score declined from 26/100 in 2019 to 25 in 2020.
In another report, Dr. Salihu Lukman, the director-general of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), accused TI of trying to influence the outcome of the next general elections.
Lukman, in a statement issued on Tuesday, February 2, described the rating as a poor attempt at making Nigeria's fight against corruption a political issue.
