Transparency International revealed that corruption levels are at a worldwide standstill, according to a ranking that was focused on 180 countries and territories around the world by their perceived levels of public sector corruption.
The report also revealed that over 80 percent of countries ranked made little or no progress in the last 10 years as regards corruption.
From the report, Transparency International found countries that violate civil liberties consistently score lower on the CPI, while such countries also had complacency in fighting corruption exacerbates human rights abuses and undermines democracy.
Meanwhile, in the report, Transparency International revealed that Nigeria was one of the lowest score since the earliest comparable year of available data (2012), alongside 26 other countries such as Australia, Belgium, Botswana, Canada, Comoros, Cyprus, Dominica, Eswatini, Honduras, Hungary, Israel, Lebanon, Lesotho, Mongolia, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Philippines, Poland, Serbia, Slovenia, South Sudan, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey and Venezuela.
