I think it's a much more salient point to understand that crippling trade agreements have far more negative impacts on 'Africa' (I hate reducing 50 countries down to one continent but for the sake of brevity I will) then corruption does. Africans unable to sell their goods at a wealth generating rate is far bigger a problem then government corruption.

Who makes those trade agreements? It's the governments of the countries. They're the ones who most would say are most corrupt (granted, not in all cases, but many).
Where is the motivation for them to prevent the poverty? They have all the power they want and need, and have money (through corruption) to cater to their whims. They control how things are sold.
Corruption is a huge issue!
