Understanding the genealogy of corruption in Nigeria - Punch Newspapers

I am currently attending a capacity building workshop for selected Nigerian journalists on “Reporting corruption in Nigeria”. The workshop, which is organised by Transparency International, Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, has in attendance journalists from both print and electronic media across the country. It started on Monday and ends today.

The scholar is of the opinion that weak legal frameworks such as shown in the Nigerian Audit Act of 1956 and many other laws of the federation make corruption fester; dilatoriness in investigation and prosecution of corrupt acts tends to embolden criminals; societal adulation of corrupt behaviours and criminality delimits the capacity of government to apprehend thieves; the near absence of moral instruction in schools have all combined to make the problems of corruption intractable in Nigeria.

On the part of the civilians in the post-independent Nigeria, their corrupt practices include contract splitting; budget padding; ghost workers ; gross abuse of office; conflict of interest; currency round-tripping; import waiver fraud; procured judgment debt against Nigeria and fraudulent consultancy payments.

There is corruption in Nigeria but corruption is not the cause of poverty in Nigeria as the money stolen is peanut compare to what is needed to develop a nation , poverty is caused by western economic enslavement
