So, there\u2019s a bit of discrepancy there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, the federal government, through its presidential council on ease of doing business, has embarked on certain reforms at the ports, at the Corporate Affairs Commission, that will make it easier to do business. We saw the rating, but it does not reflect correctly the efforts of this government in trying to curb corruption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government has put in place various reforms in fighting corruption, but some of these reforms will take time to yield the desired results because the matrix used by TI is not just about grafts alone. It includes how transparent or how opaque the services are, and you\u2019ll find out that when we scored in the 2018, 2019 transparency reports, we realised that we scored very low in the area of ease of doing business in particular.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why the federal government embarked on reforms, especially at the seaports, because that is one area where we scored very low. You\u2019ll see that in recent times, we\u2019ve embarked on numerous reforms at our seaports so that our rating will improve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe realised that following the release of 2019 TI corruption perception index, we initiated reforms to improve on ease of doing business indices. This is because we found that up to 40 percent of the country\u2019s corruption perception survey indices related to business, process and general public service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, that is why we are concentrating on the ease of doing business, making sure that people can get to the ports, clear the goods in good time and by the time some of these start yielding fruits, I\u2019m sure that perception will improve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture has stated that Nigeria&#8217;s current\u00a0poor corruption rating by Transparency International is as a result of inadequate data.
