Abstract
This project examines the effect of corruption on democratic government at the federal government level in Nigeria as it affects national development initiatives since the return to democratic rule in 1999. It argues that corruption which has been considered as a general disease in the body politics, public exploitation and abuse of public offices for private gain has made the country circumnavigating in her developmental efforts. And for this reason, the country is being perceived or reputed as one of the top failing states in Africa.
The project recognises the correlation between financial corruption and national development and therefore submits that financial corruption can be stemmed down through the demonstration of strong political will and commitment or adherence to the rule of law when adequate punishment is meted on corrupt leaders and individuals.
It analyses the current trends of financial corruption since the birth of the fourth republic and therefore concludes that, the endemic nature of financial corruption which have permeated all levels of governance (executive, legislature and judiciary) in the country is an evidence of failure of good governance and lack of transparency and accountability in the country’s democracy.
