ABSTRACT
This research project was an overview of the Nigeria’s recent experience on corruption in the context of economic development. It discusses the possible causes and impact of corruption, which are seen to be rooted in socio-cultural value practices and the political and economic situation of the country. Data were drawn clearly from publications with relevant information about the impact.
In addition, this study found a negative correlation between levels of corruption and economic growth thereby making it difficult for Nigeria to develop fast. In Nigeria, corruptions hinder the Economic; reduce economic efficiency and create unemployment despite the enormous resources in the country. Corruption creates negative national image and loss of much needed revenue. It devalues the quality of human life, robs schools, agricultural sectors, hospital and welfare services of funds. The biggest challenge for the country therefore is not just to punish corrupt behaviour or go into bargaining plea. The country must reverse the prevailing culture in which corruption is viewed as permissible. People should be educated on the dangers of excessive materialism and the culture of ‘get rich quick’. There is also the need for more job creation with better remuneration.
