CHAPTER ONE

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Introduction

In spite of the great potentials and endowments of Nigeria, the country remains
underdeveloped due to long years of corruption and mismanagement.

Section 2 of the corrupt practices and other related offences act 2000 defines
corruption to include bribery, fraud and other related offences but in its simplest
terms, it means the abuse/misuse of power or position of Trust for personal or
group benefit (monitory or otherwise).

Other examples of corruption are identified in the EFCC law 2004.

The citizens’ attitude to a particular law will affect the implementation of such a
law. In this context it is believed that the way the citizens perceive and react to the
anti-corruption laws and the machineries established to operationalise them will
determine the effectiveness of their implementation.

The project titled “Business Survey on Crime, Corruption and Awareness of EFCC
in Nigeria” is aimed principally at supporting the Government in combating
economic and financial crimes and assessing the perception of corruption and
awareness of EFCC in Nigeria.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in collaboration with Economic and

Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are the implementers of the project.

1.2 Background

This Crime and Corruption Business Survey (CCBS) is carried out by the EFCC and NBS,
under the technical guidance of UNODC, and is part of a larger international CCBS
programme which aims at regularly collecting data on and generating a set of indicators on
the impact of crime and corruption on businesses for the purpose of a) obtaining
crime/corruption indicators as an accompanying tool in implementation of the UN
Convention against Corruption; b) to provide a baseline for the promotion of joint
prevention measures against corruption in industry/businesses.
The importance of data collection on crime issues has been acknowledged during a round
table hosted in Abuja by the Government of Nigeria (Abuja, September 2005, “Crime and
Drugs as impediments to Security and Development in Africa”). The rational for collecting
data on crime and corruption is that these two phenomenons are impediments to security
and development, but lack of data on these issues makes it difficult to adequately tackle
the problem. Collecting and distributing data on the crime situation in a country will
therefore contribute to advocate for the inclusion of crime and corruption policies in the
country development plans.

1.3 Definitions

The basic definitions used in the different sections of the CCBS questionnaire are as
follows:
1.3.1 Information about establishment
Establishment An establishment is defined as a production unit with a single
physical location that is engaged primarily in one kind of economic activity. For
statistical purposes, any production, local or ancillary unit is considered as an
establishment, if it maintains a separate account.
1.3.2 Crime
Burglary: Illegal (unsanctioned by owner) entry into premises to steal or try
to steal something.
Vandalism: Causing deliberate damage in premises of the establishment.
Theft of vehicles: Theft of vehicles (cars/vans/trucks) belonging to the
establishment.
Theft from vehicles: Theft of belongings (car radio, other valuables) that have been
left in the vehicles (cars/vans/trucks) belonging to the
establishment, and/or theft of parts of the vehicles (e.g. car
mirror, wheels, etc.).
Theft by employees: Theft of valuable things (belonging to the establishment) from
the establishment by employees.
Theft by outsiders: Theft of valuable things (belonging to the establishment) from
the establishment by outsiders.
Robbery: Theft of valuable things (belonging to the establishment) from
the establishment by using force and/or by threatening people.
Assault: Personal attack or threat of people by someone

1.3.3 Bribery and corruption

Bribes to obtain a better service:
companies offer gifts or money to public officials, directly or
indirectly, in order that the officials, in the exercise of their official
duties, behave in a way to facilitate the obtaining of what the
establishment desires.

Bribes to obtain undue advantage (violate law or rules):

public officials solicit an undue advantage (material benefits) in
order to depart from their normal behaviour in the exercise of
their official duties.

Bribing foreign officials to obtain a better service:

companies may offer gifts or money to foreign public officials,
directly or indirectly, in order that the officials, in the exercise of
their official duties, behave in a way to facilitate the obtaining of
what the establishment/company desires.

5
CCBS - Manual
Bribing foreign officials to obtain undue advantage (violate law or rules):
foreign public officials solicit an undue advantage (material
benefits) in order to depart from their normal behaviour in the
exercise of their official duties.

1.3.4 Intimidation/extortion and protection money

Intimidation/extortion: 1) Actual incidents or attempt to extort money from

establishment;
2) Threatening and intimidating managers and/or employees;
3) Threatening product contamination

Protection money: requesting of money in exchange for services to protect establishment

from robbery, extortion, acts of vandalism or further requests of bribes.

1.4 Survey Objectives

i. To obtain baseline data on the prevalence and nature of corruption in Nigeria’s
business and industry.
ii. To provide information on the experience, perception and reaction of Nigeria’s
business community to crime and corruption.
iii. To obtain data for the promotion of joint prevention measures against corruption
in business/industry.
iv. To provide crime/corruption indicators as an accompanying tool in the
implementation in Nigeria of UN convention against corruption.
v. To assess the level of awareness of the work of EFCC by the business
community.

1.5 Coverage/Scope
The survey will be carried out in all the states of the federation including federal
capital (FCT), Abuja on the Business Community. A total of 2,775 establishments will
be covered.
Information will be collected from fourteen economic sectors covering the following
areas:
(i) Establishment/Business characteristics
(ii) Crimes
(iii) Corruption
(iv) Intimidation/Extortion
(v) Access to justice system
(vi) Awareness of EFCC
(vii) Crime prevention

1.6 Sample Design

1.6.1 Introduction
The frame for Business Survey on Crime, Corruption and Awareness of EFCC is
based on NBS Quick Listing of Establishments conducted in 2004 for
establishment with employment size of 5 and above. The interest of this survey is
on establishments employing (10) persons and above covering fourteen (14)
economic sectors.
6
 CCBS - Manual
1.6.2 Sample Size and Allocation.
The sample size of 2,775 establishments for the Business Survey will be selected
from the national frame of 28,919 establishments. The establishment will be
grouped by size of employments and different sampling intervals will be applied to
arrive at the sample size.
See annex 3 on the distribution of sampled establishments by states and
economic sectors.

1.7 Estimation Procedure:

The weight for each sector will be equal to the reciprocal of the probabilities of
sectors of the sample establishments in that sector multiplied by an
adjustment/correction factor. These weights will be used to multiply sample values
to obtain the population totals. See Annex III on Distribution of Sample
Establishments by Size of Employment, sectors and States attached.

1.8 Survey Instruments

Two types of survey instruments will be used: These are:
i) Survey Questionnaire
ii) Manual of Instruction for field work/editing specification

1.9 Training for Main Field Work

Two levels of training are planned for the take-off of Business Survey.

1.9.1 First level:

This is the training of trainers (TOT) involving the headquarters staff. About twenty
(20) trainers will be trained out of which twelve (12) will go and train at the zonal
level with two (2) trainers per zone. The training will last for two (2) days.

1.9.2 Second level:

The training will be conducted at the six NBS zonal headquarters (Ibadan, Calabar,
Enugu, Jos, Kaduna and Maiduguri). About seven (7) Officers will be trained per
state while a total of 250 persons will be trained. The training will last for three (3)
days.
1.10 Content of Training
The training section will cover discussions on:
- Rights and obligations of interviewers. Ensuring respondent anonymity.
- Overview of the CCBS sample and the implementation of the sampling plan.
- Overview of the structure of the CCBS questionnaire: main sections, the logical
structure of each section, approaches to be used in establishing the contact with
the respondent.
- Definitions of the different groups of crimes included in the CCBS questionnaire.
- Working with pre-coded open ended questions.
- Skip patterns.
- A complete pass-through the whole questionnaire by instructor.
7
CCBS - Manual
- Test interviewing (interviewers make an interview with each other) and a review of
all problematic situations encountered is made.
- Preliminary logical check of completed questionnaires by interviewers and field
supervisors. Main issues, review of pre-coded open ended questions. Review of
skip patterns. Criteria for adoption and cancelling of completed questionnaires.
- Main issues to be covered in the interviewer field report.

1.11 Techniques of Training

The training techniques to be adopted include:
i. Presentation and discussion on all sections of the questionnaire
ii. Practical sessions
iii. Questions and answers
iv. Tests

1.12 Data Collection

Senior Officers of National Bureau of Statistics will be used for data collection. The
data collection will last for one month (1month).

Field work is the most important phase in surveying in that if serious deficiencies
arise which are not detected and rectified promptly, little can be done afterwards. It
is the responsibility of the interviewers to carry out field work that is professional.
This kind of survey has been carried out in many different countries. It is the
responsibilities of the interviewers to provide a quality of work of international
standards.

No fieldwork is possible without field organisation, and it is the responsibility of the

supervisors to organize the field work.

Control over the flow of field material and its quality is another essential requisite.
Careful records must be kept of assignments and returns. When the completed
material is returned, it should be checked against the control records.

It is important to have easy communication between the interviewer and the survey
co-ordinator so that the problems which arise during data collection can be promptly
solved. One of the approaches for quality control consists in the review and editing
of completed questionnaires by the survey co-ordinator. This serves to identify
obvious errors such as omissions, inconsistencies, and incomplete entries. This
review is important particularly at the early stages of data collection since more
errors are likely to occur when interviewers have less experience. This should also
serve for sample control. While some errors can be corrected by reference to other
information contained in the questionnaire, in some cases return visits might be
needed.

8
 CCBS - Manual
1.13 Monitoring/Quality Check
This is a programme designed to control the quality of records from the field. A
high level monitoring team will be constituted at NBS headquarters (Abuja) to
monitor, spot check and cross check for completeness, accuracy and reliability of
data collected from the selected establishments all over the federation. As part of
the quality assurance measures, field supervisors will also edit completed
questionnaires before sending them to headquarters for processing. A team of
manual editors will also be set up to edit and scrutinize the questionnaires before
computer data entry. Monitoring will last for twenty days.

1.14 Data Retrieval

Data retrieval programme will be set up to avoid unnecessary delay during data
processing. Completed and edited Questionnaires will be batched by economic
sectors and submitted to NBS state offices by the supervisors of each team
beginning from 10th to 30th March, 2007. The state officers will then forward the
questionnaires to NBS headquarters Abuja where data processing and analysis will
be done.

10.0 Data Processing/Analysis

The processing will commence as the questionnaires are received from the office
while fieldwork is still on. This is necessary to reduce the time lag between data
collection and presentation of the result. The retrieved questionnaires batched by
economic sectors will be analysed using IMPS, SPSS and MS-Excel Software.

11.0. Report Writing

Report writing on the results of the survey will be done by NBS in collaboration
with EFCC. The report will be published at most two months after the field work.

CHAPTER THREE

3.0 How to Complete the Questionnaire

3.1 Concepts
The Establishment will be the main survey unit in the CCBS. The "establishment" concept
has been chosen as the questionnaire addresses different types of crime, including
estimates of the damage incurred. In this respect, it would be difficult for the concrete
respondent to give information about the whole company (enterprise), if the company has
many premises located in different regions of the country. If, for a specific case, the
establishment concept overlaps with company (enterprise), then the respondent replies
referring to the whole economic unit; if there is no overlap (the company has several
establishments), the respondents should only refer to the establishment in which he works
(at a managerial position).

3.2 Structure of Questionnaire

Section Comment
A) Identification This section serves to uniquely identify the establishment to be
interviewed.
B) Summary This section is to be filled in only after completion of the interview, or
Information in case of refusal to participate in the survey.
C) General This section aims at selecting the respondent within the establishment
Information and also introduces the survey purpose to the respondent and collects
information on the respondent and the establishment.

D) Crimes This section collect data on 8 crimes the establishment could (on not)
have been victim of in 2006 (thus, only focusing on crimes that
happened between January 1st and 31st December 2006). It also
gathers data on the reporting of these crimes to the police or other
institutions and the use of weapons and firearms for perpetrating
these crimes.
E) Bribery and This section gathers data on the establishment’s perception of
Corruption corruption (what the establishment think that corruption is among
various institutions) and the actual prevalence of corruption (what the
establishment actually had to pay in bribes or other form of corruption)
in 2006. It also gathers data on the reporting of corrupt behavior.
F) Intimidation/ This section is devoted to intimidation and extortion the establishment
Extortion and was victim of in 2006. Like the corruption section, it collects data on
Protection Money the perception, prevalence and reporting behavior of such acts.
G) Access to the This section deals with the use of court by the establishment.
Justice System
H) Awareness of This section probes the establishment knowledge of the existence and
EFCC the perception of the work of the EFCC.
I) Crime Prevention This section asks about the measure the establishment took to
prevent crime.
J) Closure Finally, the survey ends by thanking the respondent and asking him, if
agreeable, his name and address.

11
CCBS - Manual
3.3 Filling-in the questionnaire
Four types of questions can be distinguished according to the means to recording their
answers.

1) Questions whose answers are recorded in cells boxes:

Example
-------------------------
Q C2) Approximately how many paid employees (employees and people who belong to
permanent staff) - both full-time and part-time - work at or from these premises at present?
(1) Less than 50
(2) 50 - 99 Cell box
(3) 100 - 249
(4) 250 and above
-------------------------
Q C2) Approximately how many paid employees (employees and people who belong to
permanent staff) - both full-time and part-time - work at or from these premises at present?
If option 2 is chosen, Put 2 inside the cell.
(1) Less than 50
(2) 50 - 99
(3) 100 - 249
(4) 250 and above
2
-------------------------

3.4 Skip questions

The questionnaire includes many skip patterns, which require additional attention during
the interview. Remember to first fill in the cell box, and only after skip to the corresponding
question.

Example: for Question C3)

-----------------------------------------
QC3) Is there foreign capital participation in your business?
(1) Yes
(2) No => Go to Q C5) 1

QC4) What is the approximate percentage of foreign capital participation?

(1) Less than 25%

The tables are filled in using tick mark √. There should be one tick mark per line.

Treatment of <<don’t know, no answer>> in tables

The <<don’t know, no answer>> option (in the column header) is never read aloud by
interviewers irrespective of whether the other options require prompted or unprompted
response. The respondent should ‘volunteer’ to answer that he doesn’t know or does not
have an answer for that question. Once the respondent volunteered to answer ‘don’t know
or no answer’, a tick mark √ should be made in the column headed ‘don’t known or no
answer’ on the corresponding line.

Examples
----------------------------------
1) QF6) What kinds of weapons were used?
<<Don’t know,
Weapons Used Yes No
no answer>>
(1) Guns √
(2) Explosives √
(3) Knives, cutlass √
(4) Other weapons √
----------------------------------
2) QF6) What kinds of weapons were used?
<<Don’t know,
Weapons Used Yes No
no answer>>
(1) Guns √
(2) Explosives √
(3) Knives, cutlass √
(4) Other weapons √

13
CCBS - Manual
3.6 Questions whose answers are quantitative estimates
For questions that ask for quantitative estimates (e.g. establishment turnover, total value
of damages from an incident, etc.) interviewers should record the sum of money the
respondent mentions in local currency.

--------------------------------
QD29) How much approximately would you estimate the total value of any damage
caused by all the incidents you mentioned, at these premises in 2006?
Approximate amount: ………50,000……………………….Naira
--------------------------------

3.7 Questions which allow for several choices
