Abstract
In Nigeria, corruption has become a great impediment for the much-expected dividends of democracy in the midst of many available natural and human resources. Every nation’s educational system is to help it overcome her peculiar problems. Nigeria’s educational system is supposed to help overcome the problem of corruption. The study therefore examined moral education in Nigerian schools as an antidote for corruption. The study explains the concepts, theories and needs for moral education as an effective way for reducing corruption in the society. It was however concluded that with the integration of moral education in Nigerian schools, the quality of the certificates acquired will be enhanced and high integrity will be accorded to the society by the members. The paper however suggested strategies for integrating moral education into Nigerian schools in the interest of reducing corrupt practices. The effective integration of moral education will surely accord high integrity for the learners, the schools, the certificates and the society in general.
