How do we measure integrity and accountability in governance? One important answer lies in the Transparency and Integrity Index (TII), a comprehensive framework designed to evaluate transparency, accountability, and institutional integrity across Nigeria’s public sector.
On Wednesday, 3rd June 2026, the Center for Fiscal Transparency and Public Integrity (CeFTPI), in partnership with the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR), officially presented the Transparency and Integrity Index (TII) 2026 Methodology to stakeholders.
The TII provides a structured and evidence-based approach for assessing public institutions across five key thematic pillars:
- Fiscal Transparency
- Open Procurement
- Human Resources and Inclusion
- Control of Corruption
- Citizens’ Engagement
The methodology is grounded in Nigeria’s governance and accountability framework while aligning with broader national and international commitments to anti-corruption, transparency, and open government principles.
Through these pillars, the Index seeks to promote greater institutional openness, strengthen public trust, encourage accountability, and improve service delivery across government institutions.
The presentation also served as an opportunity to familiarize stakeholders with the assessment framework and highlight the importance of proactive disclosure of governance-related information. Public institutions and state governments were encouraged to review the methodology and ensure that relevant governance, financial, procurement, and administrative information is published and readily accessible on their official websites ahead of the assessment period.
As a tool for driving reforms and measuring progress, the Transparency and Integrity Index (TII) represents an important step toward strengthening public sector accountability and fostering a culture of transparency and integrity in governance.
CeFTPI remains committed to advancing evidence-based accountability mechanisms that support stronger institutions, better governance outcomes, and increased public confidence in government processes.
