Why begin with private sector and not the public sector?
Given the endemic nature of the Nigerian environment, it is 'easier' to initially address the private sector where growth can be measured. With the phenomenon known as the global village, the private sector is usually in the vanguard of making the connection between best business practice and increased profit margins. At CBi, we realise that with tangible benefits available in a strong private sector will provoke an active civil society, which will then place pressure on the public sector to establish change mechanisms for the populace.

How do you fund CBi activities?
Our funding has come predominately from foreign donors such as SAP AG and DFID. It is planned that within a 5 year period subscriptions and other training facilities will assist CBi in achieving self sustainability.
Why do I, a Nigerian entrepreneur, need to sign on to CBi?
As the global business scene continues to transcend international boundaries, it is important for Nigerian entities to institute mechanisms that will allow them to compete globally. Undoubtedly, the major roadblock for home-grown establishments is the global perception that all Nigerian organisations are corrupt, which is indeed inaccurate. By signing to the Convention, you are making a bold anti-corruption stance to the world. For more benefits, view Benefits
