Combating Corruption In Nigeria: A Critical Appraisal Of The Laws, Institutions, And The Political Will, Osita Nnamani Ogbu

Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law

The effectiveness of the laws and the institutions and their limitations will be considered. Lastly, the political will to fight corruption will also be examined.
