FG says no evidence to Support Transparency International’s Findings

The Federal Government has said there is no evidence to back the report by Transparency International which places Nigeria at 146 out of the 180 countries on the 2019 corruption perception index.

In an interview on Channels Television’s LunchTime Politics, the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami said the facts on the ground do not correlate with the information dished out by Transparency International.

As far as Mr. Malami is concerned “the empirical evidence” does not support  Transparency International’s report.
