The Federal Government has unveiled the 2025 Transparency and Integrity Index (TII), an initiative designed to promote greater openness, ethical conduct, and accountability across public institutions.
According to a statement by Mr. Aliyu Umar, Head of Strategic Communications at the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR), the launch took place on Saturday in Abuja.
Director-General of the BPSR, Mr. Dasuki Arabi, described the Index as a key instrument for fostering transparency and strengthening integrity within Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). Vanguard reported.
“This annual event remains one of the most important platforms for promoting transparency, accountability, and integrity within our public institutions. The TII is not just about numbers or rankings; it is about building a culture of openness and responsibility that inspires public trust,” Arabi said.
Now in its fifth edition, the Index measures the performance of MDAs based on five critical areas—financial management, control of corruption, open procurement, citizens’ engagement, and human resource inclusion.
