Abacha money being used well

Nigeria is generally thought of as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. But there is some good news on that front.

Last year, a Swiss court returned nearly $460 million in stolen money back to the Nigerian government, on the condition that it be monitored by the World Bank.

The Bank has reported that Nigeria is using the money wisely and efficiently to boost education, transport and health programs.
