Abstract
In the world over, it has been proved that no other variable has foment crisis in human societies than corruption. This attests to the fact that corruption breeds insecurity. Undoubtedly. security holds a pride of place in the life of any nation and considering the fact that it de/ermines the status of other phenomenon in the society makes it outstanding. The neglect of security can spell a doom for nation because a crisis of an hour can destroy provisions of centuries. This paper therefore examined the nexus between corruption and crisis cum insecurity. It argued that corruption instigates crisis which brings about insecurity and adverse effect on economic growth. It posited that the most aggravating aspect of corruption which breeds crisis is embezzlement which most of Nigerian leaders exhibit in social administration, thereby denying the citizenry of good governance. III conclusion, the paper advocated that our leaders should be more focused in social administration as opposed to the corrupt act which they presently display that has been instigating citizens' annoyance cum crisis in the society. If socio-economic growth would be realizable. the political administration of the country must be strictly censored and sanctioned by law of enforcement.
