Nigeria faces considerable corruption risk across its defence institutions, with extremely limited controls in operations and procurement. Oversight mechanisms are in place, but often lack coordination, expertise, resources, and adequate information to fully perform their role. However, Nigeria is improving on budget and financial transparency, particular with regard to defence expenditures.
