According to a recent survey, men in Nigeria are more likely to pay a bribe to a public official or to be asked to pay a bribe by a public official. As of 2019, 35.2 percent of male respondents had paid a bribe in the last 12 months prior to the survey, whereas the share of women was around 24 percent. This represented a decrease for both men and women in the prevalence of bribery in Nigeria compared to 2016.
Prevalence of bribery in Nigeria in 2016 and 2019, 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.
