Description
Book SynopsisCorruption in Nigeria addresses the effects of corruption in Nigeria and provides a concise overview for a lasting solution. Offering insight from the authors'' original thinking and experiences, the book traces corruption from colonial rule through nearly fifty years of successive civilian and military government, counter coupes, and ethical reform programs that were launched using Mazi A. Kanu Oji''s ideas. The experience of Nigeria, as the most populous country in Africa with great potential for becoming one of the world''s leading nation-states, is relevant to African studies, political science, public administration, and leadership studies, as well as U.S. and global policy interests on health and human rights, ethical leadership, and governance in Africa.
Trade Review…A candid analysis....The authors dispel any misapprehension about the devastating effect corruption has had on national development in Nigeria; they shed light on its devastating impact on both infra-structural and cultural developments….They call our attention to a notable bright light in the struggle against corruption, crime and fraud in the medical field in Nigeria, the accomplishments of Dora Akunyili…They propose a transformational model to introduce change…These attributes, they proffer are most visible in the servant leader….They cite, as examples, General Colin Powell, the former Secretary of State of the United States, the [former] President of Nigeria, Umaru Yar'Adua...It is a laudable beginning. -- Dr. Charles Jarmon, professor and associate dean, College of Arts and Sciences, Howard University
