Corruption worse than terrorism –Survey
JUNE 7, 2013
Fighting corruption.
A report conducted by TNS RMS, Pulse of the Nation Survey, has indicated that corruption in Nigeria is worse than terrorism.
The survey, made public on Thursday, also scored the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission low in the performance of its duties.
The Chief Executive Officer TNS RMS (West East Central Africa), Mr. Adeola Tejumola, who presented the report before journalists in Abuja, said the quarterly survey was the views of Nigerians on various national issues.
The survey said, “Among the key problems, corruption is the number one problem facing Nigeria; this is prominent across all sampled states. This sentiment is; however, lower in Enugu State compared to other states.
“Terrorism and crime are also key problems facing the country, which was also mentioned prominently across all sampled states. Terrorism and security came second and third respectively as key problems facing Nigeria across the sampled states.”
On the Economic and Financial Crimes Comission, the survey noted that only four per cent of the respondents described its performance as satisfactory.
It said, “Only four per cent of respondents rated EFCC’s performance as satisfactory; 36 per cent said EFCC is somewhat performing well, while 28 per cent said the organisation’s performance has stayed the same over time. Over a third (32 per cent) said EFCC’s performance had got worse over time.”
