David Grayson discovers a Nigerian initiative trying to change stereotypes on graft
You are approached by a business-person from Nigeria with a request to do business. Do you (a) listen carefully and positively; or (b) run a mile? Stereotypes are hard to break; but a small, committed NGO in Nigeria: CBi: the Convention for Business Integrity aims to do just that.
