In 2016 the then British Prime Minister David Cameron in a conversation with her majesty, Queen Elizabeth 11 shortly before the commencement of the Anti-Corruption Summit in London committed a faux pas by referring to Nigeria and another country attending the summit as ‘fantastically corrupt countries’ A lot has happened in the past 6 years in the largest economy and most populous country in Africa to address this unflattering description. There has been series of legislations and proactive measures employed by government(the executive, legislature and judiciary) and anti-corruption agencies to regulate and enforce anti-corruption, anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws . The clear objective has been to raise the country’s profile in the global fight against corruption, bribery, money-laundering and illicit flow of funds and boost foreign investors’ confidence.
