Corruption rating: FG blames Private Sector – Vanguard
November 19, 2009 by Bunmi Awolusi
Still recovering from the shock of Nigeria’s downward spiral in the ranking of Transparency International, TI, the Federal Government yesterday blamed the low rating on the Organised Private Sector, OPS.
The government maintained that while the menace of corruption is fast fading out in the public sector, the virus is eating deep into the fabric of the OPS.
The blame apportioning notwithstanding, government has expressed discomfort over the retrogression.
Nigeria had dropped in the latest ranking of Transparency International, released Tuesday, from 121st position in 2008 to 130, this year.
