Abstract:
All over the world, no country has fully dusted itself off from the stains of corruption. This study therefore aimed at finding out the perception of the Youths in Nigeria’s higher institution on Government Anticorruption Effort. This study aimed extensively on how anticorruption efforts began in Nigeria, with a little background on the origin of corruption. This study also aimed at analyzing the antigraft agencies (ICPC and the EFCC), as well as an analysis of policy formulation and policy implementation in Nigeria. For the purpose of this study, descriptive survey design was adopted with the use of questionnaire as data collection tool. Findings from this research work revealed that there is a significant relationship between the perception of the youths in higher institutions and the government anticorruption effort. Thus, this study recommended that current Leaders should imitate and imbibe good legacies of past leaders like Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Gani Fawenhnmi, etc. so as to make Nigeria indeed the giant of Africa.
