Background
There is a national consensus in Nigeria and within the international community that corruption is endemic and pervasive in the country. Corruption is related to the massive stealing of public resources that would have been invested in providing wealth-creating infrastructure and social services for the citizenry. The scourge of corruption has assumed an existential threat to the country and has become a major obstacle to human and economic development efforts. Nigeria scored a low 27 out of 100 on the 2017 Corruption Perceptions Index reported by Transparency International earning a ranking of 148 out of 180 countries. Corruption in the public sector remains a sore spot in Nigeria’s quest to instill transparency and accountability in the polity.
Consequently, the failure to deliver social services, the endemic problem of power supply and the collapse of infrastructure are linked with corruption. Unfortunately, the will and framework to combat corruption in all tiers of government is still very weak and underdeveloped. In some cases, especially in the states and local governments, the political will to fight corruption is non-existent, as the workings of the polity are intricately connected with corruption activities. It is no surprise, therefore, that most of the predicate offences to money laundering are connected with corruption within the officialdom. Furthermore, the high level of corruption in the Nigeria as indicated in various researches is linked to the level of infrastructural decay, pervasive poverty and the high rate of
Contrary to the prevalence of corruption in the public place in Nigeria, the country’s informal space however, seems to have little tolerance for corrupt practices with the informal structure quickly responding to such incidences and dealing with same in decisive manners.
Working with social networks and platforms within both informal and formal setting is very critical to the success of anti-graft war in Nigeria. This emanates from the fact that there is the need to demand greater accountability from public officials and service providers. Therefore, a social audit as an accountability mechanism where citizens organize and mobilize to evaluate, or audit government’s performance and policy decisions are imperative. Against this backdrop, the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) calls on interested applicant to submit expression of interest for the development of a social audit toolkit.
