Effects Of Corruption On The Nigerian Society

This book on "Effects of corruption on the Nigerian society" is a remarkable addition to existing works on corruption in Nigeria. It is however unique in its multi-disciplinary approach to the subject and dispassionate engagement with many critical developmental issues of national and globalimport. It periscopes the multi-faceted effects of corruption as impediments to national and human development, drawing pragmatic inferences from the shortcomings of our socioeconomic structure, the imbalances in our political system and the inefficiencies in governance, consequently retrogressing development.
Given the threat posed by corruption to our existence as Nigerians and to the very essence of our nationhood, the efforts made by intellectuals and professionals in diagnosing the causes and analyzing the effects of corruption in this book are not only commendable, but deserving of national recognition. I have no doubt in my mind that the various suggestions proffered by contributors would provide an invaluable blueprint for reforms and gear our efforts towards good governance, economic growth and human development in Nigeria.
I commend the efforts of M.A Bello Esq. for conceiving this noble idea and nurturing it to fruition. He has combined his wealth of experience as a lawyer and his interaction with different facets of the Nigerian society as a pragmatic sociologist and an accomplished administrator, to structure the contents of the book.
The book is recommended to the drivers of our three arms of government, our policy makers, scholars and Nigerians in general.
