Africa Investigates, Ep. 5: Double Offshoring Africa Investigates

Thanks to the country’s oil and gas industries, Nigeria is now Africa’s largest economy.

On the latest episode of Africa Investigates, Khadija Sharife of the African Network of Centers for Investigative Reporting sheds light on the public cost of these corrupt financial systems.
