dc.description.abstractThe Federal Government of Nigeria has over the years embarked on Public Service Reforms (PSRS) to among others, fight corruption and ensure public accountability and transparency. Pursuant to this, institutional and structural mechanisms were put in place. In spite of this however, the desired level of public accountability and transparency seems not to have been met. The major objective of this study is to determine the effect of the PSRS on public accountability. Specifically, the study examines the institutional constraints militating against the performance of the anticorruption agencies in fighting corruption in Nigeria. The source of data was secondary chiefly from the reports of Transparency International, Books, Government Publications, Newspapers and Magazines. The study revealed that, in spite of the reforms, public accountability and transparency is still low in Nigeria. It also reveals an undue political interference in the activities of the anti-corruption agencies. Others are secrecy in government business, high level of political corruption and an international dimension to corruption. The study recommends for societal value reorientation, greater power and autonomy to anti-corruption agencies, constitutional, electoral, media and judicial reforms and international collaboration in the fight against corruption among others.
