There are any challenges to governance in Nigeria, but the issue of bribery and corruption is more worrisome. The menace of corruption leads to inefficiency of Nigerian bureaucracy, police extortions at road block and slow traffic on the highways, port congestion, queues at passport offices and gas station, ghost worker syndrome, election irregularities, among others. The study examines the various definitions, and forms of corruption in relation to the Nigerian State. The paper, among other things, shows various form of practical manifestation of corrupt practices, and how the Nigerian State continues to engender corruption, in spite of concerted efforts of the past and present government to tame the scourge of corruption . A number of solutions have been proffered in the study as way of combating corruption and ensuring good governance in Nigeria.
