AN EXAMINATION OF CORRUPTION UNDER THE NIGERIA CRIMINAL LAW
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
This
research work examines corruption, its legal effect, its meanings and peculiar manifestation
in the Nigeria society. Abortive efforts made in the past to curtail the problem,
and present experiments to eradicate the scourges from our polity are also examined.
The term, “corruption” implies an undue advantage, abuse of office, undeserved
favour obtained through manipulation of rule or status, any untoward conduct,
occasioned by graft or promise of same. In other words, whenever and wherever a
party performs a service or obligation in exchange for some gratification or
refuses to perform his duty as a result of conferment of some benefits or
promise of same, he is said to be corrupt. This dissertation is broken into
five chapters. Chapter one deals with general introduction, chapter two deals
with concept of corruption, chapter three deals with corruption and criminal
law in Nigeria, chapter four deals with curbing corruption in Nigeria, chapter
five deals with conclusion and recommendations. Finally, in the concluding
part, suggestions are made, as to how Nigeria youths, educational institution
of learning, the judiciary, legislative Assembly and religious Institutions can
be active agents in the effort to return sanity to our society, enthroning the
virtues, of honesty, transparency and accountability in their dealings.
CHAPTER

GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
1.0.0:
INTRODUCTION
Nigeria
is one of the countries identified as the most corrupt nation in the World. Since
independence in 1960, no administration has been declared corruption free, the
notable difference is the degree of corruption. The first republic was
interrupted in 1960 on the accusation of corrupt practices. When the military
took over they claim among other things to stop the spate of corruption with
which regional and national government had been associated. Virtually, all the
military administrations we had, since then, hammered on the issue of
corruption and the need to eradicate it from Nigeria. It would therefore be of
importance to make a descriptive or explanatory statement of corruption or
corrupt practices as apt to this research work. It should be noted that
corruption is not limited to monetary gratification, benefits derived from
there could also be in kind or in pleasure or other intangible forms,
employment patronage, use of contraire security threats to the state or the
large society to obtain approval for extra budgetary allocation for the
personal enrichment of public officers, membership in cults and other ways and
means of securing undeserved status and or benefits also constitute corrupt
practices. This long easy also engages in the conceptual examination of the
corruption phenomenon in Nigeria, before analyzing the constitutional
mechanisms and framework designed to tackle corruption. The governance issues
relating to corruption will be discussed, as a prelude to highlighting certain
emerging prospects for combating and preventing corruption in the Nigeria
state. Accordingly, the struggle against corruption has become the struggle of
our time, if Nigeria is to emerge from the labyrinthine of a poverty, squalor,
ignorance and stunted growth. The level of corruption in the country had
clearly become intolerable, and it is generally acknowledged that constitutional
democracy is the basis for good governance, as good governance is the antidote
for corruption. The observations and conclusion thereafter flows logically from
the preceding discussions.
