EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
This study shows that academic corruption is commonplace in the universities as indicated by students and lecturers. The prevalence of academic corruption was found to exist more among male than female lecturers (87.85) and it involves parents, students, lecturers and school administrators (82.7%) as seen in Table 2. This shows a high degree of agreement by the two groups of respondents to the items. This finding is consistent with previous reports that parents pay bribes for their children’s admission into universities; professors alter scores of students and teachers were involved in aiding and abetting students in examination malpractices (Osipian, 2007; Jubril, 2010). Similarly, the findings are in consonance with another report that points to university administration as the most corrupt and that both students and lecturers initiate bribe (Rostiashvili, 2004). In other words, the finding is in line with the observation that corruption in the academia is one of the most prominent factors contributing to diminishing standard of university education (Kingston, 2011). The finding further corroborates the views that students alone should not take the blame because they were aided and abetted by lecturers (Jubril, 2010). The highest causes of academic corruption were poor study habits of students (68.8%) and poor entry qualification of students (66%). The finding justifies earlier literature that the entry behaviour and mental ability of entrants could affect the quality of education and that bribe given to the university to facilitate students’ admission by parents signifies their poor entry qualifications (Osipian, 2007; Babalola, 2010). In terms of the effects, delayed absorption of university graduates into the labour market (91.5%) and poor quality of university graduates (87.8%) were indicated as the main effects of academic corruption. This study confirms those of Okebukola (2005) who noted that students who engaged in paying bribes for good grades are not academically sound and Moja (2000) who reiterated that the quality of university products in Nigeria have dwindled from what it was in the early 1970s.
