Transparency International today released its 2015 corruption index with Nigeria stuck in the 136th position in a ranking of about 170 nations.

The good news for Nigeria is that while its score dropped from 27 to 26, it stayed in the same position.

Denmark remained in the top spot in a ranking that saw six African countries among the world’s ten most corrupt nations.

Many expect that efforts by the current government in Nigeria should see the country inch up in the ranking if the war against corruption is institutionalized and sustained.

The top 10 ranked countries with the lowest corruption are:

  • 1 Denmark
  • 2 Finland
  • 3 Sweden
  • 4 New Zealand
  • 5 Netherlands
  • 5 Norway
  • 7 Switzerland
  • 8 Singapore
  • 9 Canada
  • 10 Germany
  • 10 Luxembourg
  • 10 United Kingdom

And the bottom 10 are:

  • 158 Guinea-Bissau
  • 158 Venezuela
  • 161 Iraq
  • 161 Libya
  • 163 Angola
  • 163 South Sudan
  • 165 Sudan
  • 166 Afghanistan
  • 167 Korea (North)

167 Somalia
