World Bank Survey
In 2017 World Bank Ease of Doing Business Survey, Nigeria ranked 169 out of 192 countries. In addition, the vital indices of electricity supply and paying taxes show that it ranked 180 and 182 respectively. Yearly, the country ranks as one of the most corrupt nation on earth, this is unacceptable. Bribery is the bane of doing business in Nigeria and this must change.
1) Giving Bribes for Contracts
Many corporate organizations bid for government jobs they are not qualified for because they have other means of winning the contract apart from tendering a practical bid.
In many public establishments, officials will receive your application for a contract and withhold it until you give them bribe to move the file from one table to the other. Some unqualified companies get major contracts due to their ability to give bribe to top government officials only to abandon the project half way. This accounts for why there are many abandoned projects scattered all over the country. This is so sad.
