An Assessment of EFCC Anti-Corruption Agency in Nigeria, 2015- 2025

The purpose of this research work on corruption control in Nigeria is to critically analyze the activities of the anti-graft agency (EFCC) in the fight and control against corruption in Nigeria between 2015-2018. In order to do this, the qualitative descriptive method was used, the secondary source generated the data. To analyse the secondary data collected to undertake this study, content analysis was adopted. The study also embraced a structural-functionalism theory which Talcott Parson postulated in the 1930s. It was found that the EFCC is an instrument of each successive regime to persecute their perceived rivals. Hence, the work suggested the following; (i) government must ensure that there is no avenue to abuse offices. ii) Over centralisation of power in Nigeria system of governance should not occur. (ili) Public and private organisation officers should be paid (salaries and allowances) as at when due. (iv) This should be done in frantic endeavor to alter the value orientation of both the many public and private officers whose value placement is on self-achievement rather than patriotism.
