AN EXAMINATION OF CORRUPTION UNDER THE NIGERIA CRIMINAL LAW

Abstract

This research examines corruption, its legal effects, implications and specific manifestations in Nigerian society. We also examine past failed efforts to contain the problem and current attempts to eradicate the scourge in our community. The term “corruption” means improper advantage, abuse of office, unfair advantage obtained through manipulation of power or position, and improper conduct through bribery or promise thereof. In other words, whenever and wherever a party performs a service or obligation in exchange for remuneration, or refuses to perform an obligation as a result of the grant or promise of benefits, it is considered corrupt.

This paper is divided into his five chapters. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction, Chapter 2 the concept of corruption, Chapter 3 Corruption and Nigerian Criminal Law, Chapter 4 Suppression of Corruption in Nigeria, and Chapter 5 Conclusions and Recommendations.

Finally, in the final part, Nigerian youth, educational institutions, judicial institutions, legislative assemblies, and religious institutions will work together to restore our society to a healthy state and promote the virtues of integrity, transparency and accountability to society.
