In order to accomplish this, the country has pursued an economic policy which was
accompanied with a PSI (Policy Support Instrument) by the IMF. It was associated with
conditions such as budget consolidation, privatization, poverty alleviation, strengthening of
the economic structure, improvement of the infrastructure and the fight against corruption. To
reach these aims, the newly founded EFCC (Economic und Financial Crimes) was activated.
Its first director, Nuhu Ribadu has tackled these tasks so rigorously that in 2007, powerful
sections of the state elite prevented his re-election, even against the will of the former
president Obasanjo. Ribadu took no measures to spare former parliament members and the
governors of the 36 federal states from embarrassing interrogations and has publicly
announced that corruption has cost Nigeria over $380 billion dollars since gaining
independence.
In dem von Korruption verseuchten Land kommt der Erdölreichtum primär ausländischen
Konzernen, der gesellschaftlichen Elite und entwicklungspolitisch fragwürdigen
Großprojekten in Industrie und Infrastruktur zugute. Die Bevölkerung lebt vorwiegend in
Armut von Subsistenzwirtschaft und Aktivitäten im informellen Sektor. Nigeria hängt
weiterhin stark vom Import von Kapital, Know-how, Maschinen, Fahrzeugen und
Nahrungsmitteln ab. Die wichtigsten Wirtschaftspartner sind die EU, USA und China.
In the corruption-infested country, foreign companies, the social elite and projects regarding
infrastructure and industry, which are harmful to Nigeria’s development policy, are the main
beneficiaries of its oil wealth. Large parts of the population live in poor conditions, dependent
on subsistence farming and activities in the informal sector. Nigeria is still heavily dependent
on the import of capital, know-how, machines, vehicles and food. Its most important business
partners are the EU, the USA and China.
