 The federal government says it is not fighting corruption to impress civil society organizations, transparent international or any other anti-corruption watchdog. It said rather, its anti-corruption drive is meant to ensure growth across all sectors of the nation's economy. The Minister of Information and Culture, La Mohamed Toad, State House correspondent after this week's federal executive council meeting, chaired by the President of the Asarok Villa. Transparency International had on Tuesday released its 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index report with Nigeria maintaining its 2021 score of 24 out of 100 points while ranking 150th among 180 countries. Transparency International Rating of Nigeria. My position is the same where you see we are not fighting corruption because we want to impress Transparency International or any organization whatsoever. We are fighting corruption because we believe if we do not fight corruption there will be no growth either in terms of the economy or even political. Therefore, what we do and what we are put in place to fight corruption is not because we want to be rated by anybody. I'm proud to say that we have been more proactive in fighting corruption for people who are not willing to see those things that we have put in place in fighting corruption and that's why I gave you that example of putting aside money that has been returned for especially people just so that we can monitor how those funds have been used. Here again the courage of this administration even to expose high ranking you know officials of administration who are from far of the law is evidence of our determination and courage to fight corruption.
