Abstract

This study seeks to assess the level of corruption in the public sector in Nigeria, with a focus on the public service in Gombe State. The research aims to identify the factors that contribute to corruption in the Gombe State public service, as well as potential ways to reduce its prevalence. A comprehensive review of the existing literature is conducted, wherein the causes of corruption in public offices in Nigeria are discussed. Data collected from both primary and secondary sources, such as surveys and interviews, is analyzed to understand the prevalence and nature of corruption in the Gombe State public service. Descriptive analysis is used to understand the underlying relationships between the various factors that contribute to corruption.
