Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Corruption remains a persistent challenge in Nigerian governance, with local governments often being seen as vulnerable to corrupt practices due to their decentralized nature and proximity to local resources. Birnin Kebbi Central Local Government Area (LGA) in Kebbi State is no exception, facing challenges related to financial mismanagement, bribery, and nepotism within its administration (Muhammad & Aliyu, 2024). In response to these issues, local governments across the country, including Birnin Kebbi Central, have implemented various anti-corruption measures. These measures include the establishment of anti-corruption committees, audits, public accountability initiatives, and the promotion of transparency in public service delivery. While these efforts aim to curb corruption, there is a lack of comprehensive studies on the effectiveness of such measures at the local government level, especially in regions with high poverty and political instability (Usman & Lawal, 2025). This study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of local government anti-corruption measures in Birnin Kebbi Central LGA, focusing on their impact on governance and public trust.
