Transparency International Defends Nigeria,Says UK World's Big Corruption Problem

    

Transparency International, on Tuesday rose strongly in defence of Nigeria as a country that is making strong effort in the fight against corruption.

The organisation  suggested that a statement by the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, was hypocritical.a statement which depicts Nigeria and Afghanistan as fantastically corrupt .Cobus de Swardt, T.I.’s Managing Director,said the UK was actually the country that is “a big part of the world’s corruption problem.”in response to Cameron Video.

“There is no doubt that historically, Nigeria and Afghanistan have had very high levels of corruption, and that continues to this day.

“But the leaders of those countries have sent strong signals that they want things to change, and the London Anti-Corruption Summit creates an opportunity for all the countries present to sign up to a new era.

“This affects the UK as much as other countries: we should not forget that by providing a safe haven for corrupt assets, the UK and its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies are a big part of the world’s corruption problem,” Mr. de Swardt said.

PM David   Cameron was caught on camera ridiculing Nigeria as a “fantastically corrupt” country on Tuesday afternoon as he spoke with Queen Elizabeth.II.
