Towards A Path For Harmony: The Imperative For Coordinating Nigeria’S Anti-Corruption Crusade

Abstract

Absence of a comprehensive national policy or strategy on corruption in Nigeria, with a defined framework for coordination, has resulted in a parallel and disarticulated fight against corruption among the anti-corruption agencies inter se, and between the agencies and the civil society on the other. Consequently, there are jurisdictional conflicts and multiple prosecutions of suspects by public agencies and divergent assumptions on the commitment or otherwise of stakeholders, as well as the appropriateness of the strategies adopted for fighting corruption. It is argued further that unless an acceptable framework for the coordination of the war against corruption is evolved, inter-agency conflicts and divergences in approaches will deter the much anticipated success. Therefore, a dual-dimensional approach to coordinating the anti-corruption crusade in Nigeria in line with global best practices is advocated.
