ABSTRACT
Corruption is a cancerous phenomena that has permeated every facet of society. It is an impediment to the achievement and development of any country. In the 2021 ranking by Transparency International. Nigeria, scored 20 out of 100 points and was ranked 154 out of 180 countries surveyed in 2020 placing it as the second most corrupt country in West Africa. As a result of the pernicious effects of corruption successive governments have enacted various legislations and set up institutions aimed at curbing corruption. Such legislations and institutions include but are not limited to Economic and Financial Crimes Commissions Act 2002 , The Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related offences Act and its Commission, the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act etc. Irrespective of the enactments of legislations and establishments of institutions, corruption still thrives unabated. This is because where corruption is entrenched, anti-corruption can only play a limited role. This is as a result of overlapping functions, issue of funding etc. This paper will consider the complexities of anti-corruption agencies and legislations and seek to address key obstacles such as institutional weaknesses and the dynamic nature of corruption itself.
