IAP Plans Nigerian Corruption Survey, Index By Abimbola Akosile Independent Advocacy Project (IAP), a Nigerian civil society organisation, has unveiled plans to carry out a nation-wide survey to independently monitor and assess corruption in the country. The survey, is expected to establish linkages between corruption and socio-economic rights among citizens. Briefing newsmen in Lagos yesterday, Mr. Babatunde Olugboji, IAP Chairman and governance specialist at Transparency International, Berlin, Germany, claimed the survey would result in a Nigeria Corruption Index (NCI), which would collate and analyse the responses of average Nigerians on their daily encounter with corruption. Focusing on the public sector, the survey is billed to start in four cities; Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt, and Abuja, with the findings published in the first quarter of 2005. "NCI is an index that seeks to empirically highlight the magnitude of corruption in Nigeria and underscore its adverse effects on good governance, democracy, and development. While there is a general agreement that corruption is a major problem in the country, there is little agreement on its nature and scope due to a dearth of concrete, quantitative data on corruption", he said.
