dc.description.abstractSuccessive administrations in Nigeria have over the years enacted laws, established institutions and launched strategies aimed at fighting corruption and improving human development. In spite of these efforts, the rate of corruption still remains high in Nigeria. Conversely, the human development index for the country remains low over the years. The objectives of this paper are to identify the causes of corruption and its effect on human development in Nigeria. The study also examined the relationship between corruption and human development in the country. The research design was content analyses of data from Transparency International and the United Nations Development Programme. These were presented in tables and analyzed using percentages and averages using the Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient to test the hypothesis. The study identified excessive government intervention in the oil sector, ineffective accountability frameworks, mild and non-enforcement of punishments for corruption offences among others as the root causes of corruption in Nigeria. The study also established that corruption is among other factors responsible for the low level of human development in Nigeria. It recommends for the deregulation of the oil sector, strengthening of accountability frameworks and the civil society, as well as severe punishments for corruption offences among others. The study also recommends for greater commitment in the provision of health and educational services as well as creation of an enabling environment for productive economic activities to thrive.
