Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Corruption has long been identified as a major impediment to effective governance and development in Nigeria. Local governments, as the third tier of governance, are not immune to this challenge, often facing issues such as embezzlement, nepotism, and mismanagement of resources (Abdullahi et al., 2023). Anti-corruption policies at the local government level aim to address these issues through measures such as transparency initiatives, audits, and community oversight mechanisms.
In Gombe Local Government, the implementation of anti-corruption policies has yielded mixed results. While some successes have been recorded, challenges such as weak enforcement, lack of political will, and limited citizen participation persist (Oladimeji & Musa, 2024). This study appraises the effectiveness of anti-corruption policies in Gombe Local Government, identifying gaps and recommending strategies for improvement.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Corruption remains a significant barrier to efficient local government administration in Gombe Local Government. Weak enforcement of anti-corruption policies, coupled with limited community involvement, has hindered progress in curbing corrupt practices (Ahmed & Bello, 2024). This study examines these issues and explores ways to strengthen anti-corruption efforts.
