CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA


John Lode outlined the doctrine of the separation of powers, indicating the danger of oppressive and arbitrary rule when all functions of government are exercised by a single person or   institution.  

The growing corruption in Nigeria can be traced to people holding power at the Federal, State, and local Government levels corruption does not involve just people in government, but also to people in both private and public positions and even traditional ruler. President Olusegun
Obasanjo presented a bill to the   national assembly on “the prohibition and punishment   of bribery, and other   related offences bill of 1999” Obasanjo’s regime has certainly fired the most critical shot at corruption in Nigeria recent times. At the federal level, it cannot be business ass usual in Nigeria. Corruption has also spread to the state and local government levels, as well as some decentralized centers of power and authority.

Thomson  (2004) reports on the then national electric power authority (NEPA) there were powerful views on the problems of corruption… you need tip them to get them  to ratify  a problem ,  said one, while some people in the  focus group thought transformer  were being vandalized  by NEPA  officials to  warrant either replacement or repair  of the transformer.
