CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Nigeria is blessed with abundant material and human resources, Nigeria should have been a safe haven for its teeming citizens and ought to have achieved the highest standards of living for its citizens in the world Yet, poverty, penury and illiteracy remain pervasive in the country and these socio-economic woes persist due to the prevalence of hydra-headed and endemic corruption perpetuated since the country’s independence in 1960. This has continued in geometrical progression till date. This ugly monster called corruption has marred every significant step taken to better the life of Nigerians. A release on October 21, 2006 by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) puts the cost of corruption in Nigeria since independence in 1960 at 220 billion pounds (N85000 billion). According to Daedulus , “that is to say that the money the past leaders of Nigeria have stolen in a 40 years’ time could have recreated the beauty and glory of Western Europe six times all over in the country. Majuk observed that the nature and character of corruption in Nigeria is endemic, cancerous and has defied all solutions. Burke’s words state thus: corruption “manifestations” and influence have been the “perennial spring of all prodigality and all disorder; it has loaded Nigeria with more than trillions of debt; taken away rigour from its arms, wisdom from its councils and every shallow of authority and credit from the most vulnerable parts of its constitution. Contributing to this, Nwaobi argues that “corruption has undermined good governance, fundamentally distorts public policy, leads to misallocation of public resources, harms the private sector and particularly hurts the poor”. Igbuzor sums it up that “in short, corruption cost lives”. We argue that corruption has persisted due to the wrong strategies and approaches adopted by various administration to tackle the menace. This study aims at appraising the EFCC strategies in combating corruption under Buhari’s led administration. However, the reverse has been the case. Every meaningful step taken to better the life of Nigerians is marred by corruption. To borrow from the words of Burke, Corruption ‘manifestations’ and influence has been the ‘perennial spring of all prodigality’ and of all disorder; it has loaded Nigeria with more than trillions of dept; taken away vigour from its arms, wisdom from its councils, and every shallow of authority and credit from the most vulnerable parts of its constitution (Burke cited in Edwards, 1977). Corruption has undermined good government, fundamentally distorts public policy, leads to the misallocation of public resources, harms the private sector and particularly, hurts the poor (Nwaobi, 2006). The problem of corruption as observed by Majuk (2004) has defied all solutions. This perhaps, has been so because of the wrong strategies and approaches employed by various administrations to tackle the menace. This work aims at appraising Buhari’s strategy in combating corruption in his first eight months in office. For better appreciation, an epochal synopsis of corruption manifestation shall be examined.
