The study is based on the hypothesis that there is a link between corruption and underdevelopment and that corruption is responsible for the shortcomings and poor performance of the Nigerian political economy. In addition to examining the historical trajectory of corruption in Nigeria, this paper delves into the underlying causes of corruption as well as its cumulative impact on national development in the country. Lastly, the paper assesses some public and private sector initiatives that have been taken and that might stem the tide of corruption.

Corruption, Politics and Governance in Nigeria

The impact of corruption on provincial development performance in vietnam.

From the land of Lilliput, in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels , where the people are only 15 cm high.

I am indebted to the reviewer of this manuscript for bringing this salient point to my attention.

The title of this paper derives from this work.

In fact, the street riots that engulfed many African countries in the late 1980s and early 1990s were due partly to salary arrears in the public sectors of many of these countries (Van de Walle 1994 ).

Others have also argued that the current administration of due process causes a lot of delay, and therefore hampers the full implementation of the appropriation act passed by the National Assembly.

Detailed information about the initiative can be found on the Global EITI website www.eitransparency.org (and on the Nigerian EITI-NEITI-Website, www.neiti.org.ng .

Many people have taken it for granted that the various goals identified by EITI are all bundled together and particularly that (a) better transparency will lead to better governance and accountability, and (b) these in turn will foster growth and reduce poverty.

This pervasive issue undermines development, justice, and equality, thereby inhibiting the country’s progress. In this edition of C-Advocate Newspaper, the Advocacy team will shed light on various aspects of corruption, its detrimental consequences, and provide guidance on how individuals can actively contribute to its eradication.</p><p>The Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Act of 2000 defines corruption as bribery, fraud, and other related offences. Transparency International defines corruption as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. Corruption erodes trust, weakens democracy, hampers economic development, and exacerbates inequality, poverty, social division, and the environmental crisis.</p><p>Sections 8 to 26 of the Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Act of 2000 outline what constitutes the offence of corruption and the appropriate punishment for it. The offences include accepting gratification, giving or accepting gratification through an agent, and counselling offences relating to corruption. Notably, Section 18 spells out the punishment for bribing a public officer, which is five (5) years imprisonment with hard labor, while Section 19 states the punishment for a public officer who uses his office or position to gratify or confer any corrupt or unfair advantage upon himself or any relation or associate of the public officer or any other public officer. They shall be guilty of an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to imprisonment for five (5) years without the option of a fine.</p><p><center><img style=

Furthermore, Section 23 imposes a duty on public officers to report any gratification given, promised, or offered in contravention of the Act to the nearest officer of the Commission or Police Officer, emphasizing the collective responsibility in combating corruption.

To effectively utilize this legislation in eradicating corruption, the public must actively engage in reporting incidences of corruption witnessed by them. Reporting acts of corruption to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission or the Nigerian Police Force is paramount. Silence in the face of witnessed corruption only emboldens its perpetrators. It is our duty as citizens to act as vigilant custodians of integrity, and reporting can be done anonymously, with the authorities trained to protect the identities of informants.

If you have witnessed corrupt practices that demand addressing, we urge you to reach out. You can call the CSAAE Advocacy toll-free line on 0800 900 1000 or chat with us on WhatsApp via 080165047214 to report these concerns.

Corruption isn’t just Nigeria’s problem; it’s a global issue that needs everyone’s help to solve. By understanding how it works, knowing its impact, and taking practical steps to fight it, we can make our society fairer, more transparent, and better for everyone. Let’s stand together in this fight against corruption and pave the way for a brighter future for all.

Our consultants will competently answer strange suggestions and recommend a different way to solve the problem.

The question of whether we can write a text for the user for free no longer surprises anyone from the team. For those who still do not know the answer, read the description of the online platform in more detail.

We love our job very much and are ready to write essays even for free. We want to help people and make their lives better, but if the team does not receive money, then their life will become very bad. Each work must be paid and specialists from the team also want to receive remuneration for their work. For our clients, we have created the most affordable prices so that a student can afford this service. But we cannot be left completely without a salary, because every author has needs for food, housing and recreation.

We hope that you will understand us and agree to such working conditions, and if not, then there are other agencies on the Internet that you can ask for such an option.
