dc.description.abstractGovernment has become ultimately inseparable from the day today life of the 'citizens. This is because government is now involved in the overall socio economic development as against its traditional role of maintaining law and order. The government is responsible for providing varieties of services to its citizens including education, health and social welfare through the state. To accomplish this, government requires the bureaucratic system that is designed to execute or implement the decisions or policies of the political class. The paper relied heavily on an array of both published and unpublished materials to provide critical and analytical details on the phenomenon under study-However, ethics and accountability remain among the major challenges confronting the Nigerian civil service. Rules and regulations are no longer observed in the civil and public sennce as well. There is also lack of political will on the part of the govenvnent, slow judicial process, playing the ethnic card and indifference of the masses. It is against this backdrop that this paper X-rays the entire architecture of bureaucratic and systemic impediments to public accountability in Nigeria. The paper argued that in order to address bureaucratic values, political interest and public accountability in Nigeria, it is pertinent for political elite and bureaucrats to interrelate in an effective manner so as to bring out the possible best in Nigeria. Credible politicians and state officers should be diligent and sincere enough to enable them discharge their duties by putting the national interest first in all their endeavors
