Abstract

Corruption in Nigeria is a major issue that hinders economic, political, and social growth. Despite the government's efforts to combat this problem, the results have been underwhelming due to various complexities. This study aims to examine the fight against corruption in Nigeria, analyzing the factors that fuel its spread, government strategies implemented to tackle corruption, their effectiveness, and the obstacles that hinder their success. The research is based on a comprehensive literature review of existing studies, reports, and publications on corruption in Nigeria, including academic articles, government reports, newspaper articles, and other relevant sources. The study ultimately recommends possible solutions to eradicate corruption in Nigeria, including strengthening institutional and legal frameworks, increasing political will and public participation, enhancing transparency and accountability, and addressing poverty and inequality.
