Open publisher page 16 citations

Abstract

Corruption is a worldwide phenomenon and continues to ravage states with endemic corruption activities. In view of the devastating effects of corruption, this paper examines the causes and effects on the Nigeria states and probable solutions were proffered. Many factors are adduced to have been responsible for this ugly trend; amongst which is the institutional factors. The effects are manifest in the decay infrastructure and decline in people‟s trust and this call for concerted efforts so as to checkmate and eliminate corruption in Nigeria. The article therefore suggests that an effective action against corruption has to evolve effective sanction and greater political transparency as a means of ensuring that the resources of the country are deployed to bring about sustainable development in the country. Keyword: Corruption, Nigeria, Causes, Effects, Perspectives.
