Although the facts of weak institutional structure, inefficiency, poor professional standards, low productivity, a culture of waste, over-bloated staff structure etc., have been identified as problems of the civil service in Nigeria, only scant attention has been paid to the debilitating effects of corruption. This paper chronicled some of the annals of administrative corruption, vis - à - vis ., their impacts on administrative development in Nigeria. Adopting the qualitative approach, the paper utilized the Market-Centred perspective as an analytical guide and considered corruption, not just as the epicentre of the problems of administrative development in Nigeria but also as the bane of the nation’s development processes. Besides the plugging of corruption loopholes and the institution of a more robust reward system for corrupt-free administrative officials, the paper recommended stringent measures to restrain systemic corruption, by making it a high-risk activity where perpetrators must be apprehended, severely punished and dispossessed of corruptly earned monies and property.

Corruption is a social menace found in all countries of the world but the difference lies in the level of impact on any society where it is found and on strategies deployed to combat it. Using a thematic approach and qualitative methodology, this paper argues that corruption has been wreaking havoc on Nigerian politics and society such as in the area of infrastructural development and provision of public services. This paper goes on to offer some useful solutions and concludes with the point that unless there is a strong political will to combat, it can only get worse. It also recommends the creation of an enabling environment for meaningful partnership between the government and citizens in the fight against corruption in all sectors of national life.
