Corruption and Development in Nigeria, Paperback / softback Book

Corruption and Development in Nigeria Paperback / softback

Edited by Olayinka Akanle, David O. Nkpe

Part of the Routledge Corruption and Anti-Corruption Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

Despite being Africa’s largest economy and most populous country, with abundant natural resources, Nigeria still faces substantial development challenges.

This book argues that corruption lies at the heart of many of the country’s problems.

Drawing on a range of different disciplinary perspectives, this volume explores the relationship between corruption and development, investigating the causes, contexts, and consequences of corruption, and the pathways for addressing it.

As well as covering the wider background and theory surrounding corruption in the country, the book will investigate different sectors: the media, the judiciary, the health sector, industry, the criminal justice system, and of course politics and governance.

The book concludes by considering attitudes and perceptions to corruption within Nigeria, current approaches to countering corruption, and future pathways to addressing the problem.

This book’s critical investigation of the links between corruption and development in Nigeria will be of interest to researchers of corruption, development and African Studies, as well as to policy makers, practitioners, and local stakeholders.
