According to a recent survey, women in rural Nigeria are less likely to pay a bribe to a public official or to be asked to pay a bribe by a public official. As of 2019, 21.6 percent of female respondents in rural Nigeria paid a bribe in the last 12 months prior to the survey, whereas the share of men was 33 percent. Overall, the prevalence of bribery in urban areas of Nigeria is higher than in rural zones.
Prevalence of bribery in Nigeria in 2019, by area and by gender
The source adds the following information: "The prevalence of bribery is calculated as the number of adult male/female Nigerians who had at least one contact with a public official and who paid a bribe to a public official, or were asked to pay a bribe by a public official, on at least one occasion in the 12 months prior to the survey, as a percentage of the adult male/female Nigerian who had at least one contact with a public official. The black bars indicate the confidence intervals for the prevalence of bribery at 95 percent confidence level. Taylor‐linearized variance estimation is used to calculate the confidence intervals for the prevalence rates."
The source does not provide information on the count and type of the survey.
