The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) has published its 2025 Integrity Report, highlighting performance among Nigerian public institutions on governance and anti-corruption measures. According to the report, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) emerged as top performers. These agencies demonstrated strong adherence to integrity standards, setting a benchmark for others.

At the other end of the spectrum, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) ranked at the bottom. This positioning underscores ongoing challenges in transparency and accountability within these bodies.
