| dc.description.abstract | It is widespread knowledge that corruption has eaten deep into the marrows of Nigerian state. It does not just allow development strides to achive objectives, but twists and swallows development policies, plans, projects and programmes. Thus, abandoned projects and development policy summersault abound in the country. This paper attempts to analyze the causes and consequences of corruption in Nigeria, evaluating the effort of government in the management of corruption from the preĀ colonial to post-colonial era. It also examines possible philosophical solution to the hydra-headed national challenge. The paper made useful recommendations to reduce the menace of corruption among public officials and politicians. The Nigerian state needs dedicated and transparent leaders to move Nigeria forward in the committee of nations in the bi-polar world. | en_US |
