Corruption has taken over the day to day discussion and deliberation on issues relating to national growth and development in Nigeria. It has become a virus eating into the bones and marrow of every sector and structure of national policy and policies. It is
crystal clear that if Nigeria fails to live above corruption and overcome it, it will not be long before corruption will end every hope of a golden age for the nation. The paper examines the dimensions of corruption in Nigeria, with major attention on enumerating the weakness of the nation’s political, social and economic institutions, including the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, as a bane militating against all efforts in winning against corruption. This breeds terrible corruption, and evil is an inimical and unimaginable threat to the survival of the nation's corporate existence. The paper explains the concept of corruption that acts as a forerunner of other social cankerworms. These are political and bureaucratic corruption. The implications of this cankerworm are also numerous: abject poverty, underdevelopment, unemployment, ethno-religious violence, secession, and terrorism as expressions of grievances. This is the object of this paper as the historical method becomes suitable for data collection, analysis and interpretation.
