About Step Up Nigeria

In order for Nigeria to lift millions of its citizens from poverty, we need to first of all improve the quality of governance. This blog discusses ways to ‘Step Up’ governance in Nigeria such as reducing corruption, promoting transparency and accountability in the provision of public services and strengthening citizen’s demand for an improvement in public service delivery.

The aim of this blog is to present analysis and views on current governance issues in Nigeria.

TI Global Corruption Barometer gets instant response from Kenya's police

Interesting article from Kenya, showing the Inspector General of Police's response to the recent TI report that ranked Kenya's police as the most corrupt public institution. The IG urged citizens to capture evidence of illicit transactions with police on their mobile phones and said they would get tougher with those caught.
Nigerian Police were also identified as one of the most corrupt public institutions according to the global corruption barometer. It will be interesting to see if there is an equally positive reaction from the Nigerian counterparts.
