WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION IN NIGERIAN PUBLIC SECTOR: AN ANALYSIS OF STAKEHOLDERS’ ROLE
ABSTRACT
Corruption in the Nigerian public sector has assumed an unprecedented dimension and seemingly rendered various supposedly independent fights against it ineffective. Scholars have suggested that only a combined effort of all stakeholders can eradicate the sleaze. This study analyzed the collective role of stakeholders in the war against corruption as a means of resolving the problem. A cross-sectional survey research design was employed. The population consists of 14 research units from 7 stakeholders’ strata with 140 participants purposefully selected. Data were collected through a validated Likert scale questionnaire, structured into nine sections. The response rate achieved was 68%. Regression analyses results obtained indicated that there are weak but significant relationships among the sub variables of the independent and dependent variables while a high positive and significant relationship existed between the aggregate independent and dependent variables. The study concluded that the effective means of eradicating corruption in Nigeria is through the combined effort of all stakeholders. The study recommended that there should be deliberate policies to strengthen every organ charged with fighting corruption and teamwork should be encouraged to gain a warfare synergy. This would enable Nigeria to recoupher damaged image and experience development at all levels.
