Abstract
Defines corruption, which includes the practices of bribery, nepotism and misappropriation. Gives an overview of the corruption situation in Nigeria. Discusses its possible causes, which are seen to be rooted in sociocultural practices and the political and economic situation of the country; however, the greatest cause is the lack of political will to deal with it. Outlines recent efforts to combat corruption, including the establishment of the new Anti‐Corruption Convention and the assistance of the United Nations and donor countries. Focuses on the Abacha case and its lessons, mentioning the specific challenges of global enforcement. Concludes that even the new democratic government’s efforts to eliminate corruption are unlikely to be entirely successful.
