dc.description.abstractOne of the major concerns of the federal government's anti-corruption crusade is the enforcement of punishments for corruption offences in her public service. This is because of the increasing level of corruption with impunity in spite of the provisions of different anticorruption acts. The objectives of this paper are to ascertain the levels of enforcement of punishments for corruption offences and the effectiveness of the anti-corruption agencies in the federal public service. Others are to examine whether the level enforcement of punishments for corruption offences has affected their level of effectiveness, identify the problems associated with the effectiveness of the anti-corruption agencies and make suggestions for improvement. Survey research using questionnaire and interview were mainly used. The population for the study consist of staff of the federal ministries, departments, and agencies. Representatives of civil society organisations were interviewed. These were presented in tables, frequencies and percentages using chi-square distribution to test the hypothesis. The study revealed that both the levels of enforcement of punishments for corruption offences and the effectiveness of the anti-corruption agencies were low. It has also been discovered that the level of enforcement of punishments for corruption offences has affected the level of effectiveness of the anti-corruption agencies. The study recommends for the reform of the Nigerian legal system by re-orientating the judges to demonstrate courage to ensure speedy discharge of their responsibilities and the employment of more competent prosecutors. Others are capacity building, facility update and the establishment of special anti-corruption courts to relief the overburdened judges of cases of corruption in the interim.
