Nigeria is widely grouped among the most corrupt countries in the world. If you were President, what would be your finest strategy to reverse this?

Any Nigerian president who makes stable electricity a reality, would go down in the nation's history as the best president ever.
Throw the corrupt bureaucrats in jail for 20-30 years if any of them were convicted, that is what alot of the danish kings used to do, there was a penalty of life in jail if any state official was caught stealing from the king's treasury. That certainly seemed to limit corruption, Denmark is currently the least corrupt country in the world.
If I were President of Nigeria, there are a few steps I would take to rectify the problems:
1. Cut the public sector employment rolls by 40-50%, keeping only the most qualified bureaucrats in their positions.
2. At the same time, increase the salaries of the remaining workers by a significant amount, as a positive incentive against corruption.
3. Make corruption and the offering of bribes a capital offense, and strictly enforce the laws.
4. Hire a medium-sized number of Westerners as overseers for the police force, to help root out corruption in that organization.
Of course, even these rather draconian measures probably wouldn't do more than make a dent...
