Abstract

The paper also discussed the concept of corruption, forms of corruption, causes and corruption in tertiary institutions such as bribery, fraud, embezzlement, favouritism, nepotism, among others and its implication for curriculum development in the country. In order to check and eliminate corruption in tertiary institutions, the paper recommended that, social studies, citizenship and value education should be implemented in tertiary institutions to teach about the negative effects of corruption and to create resilience against corrupt practices. Also, stakeholders in education should organize conferences in tertiary institution to re-orientate them on the dangers of corruption with the action statement ‘‘change begins with me’’ in our educational system, effective classroom implementation of curriculum content and the introduction of courses that will imbibe moral consciousness in the business of education at the tertiary level.
