Amali, I.O.O.Yusuf, ABello, M.B.2021-05-272021-05-2720130795-6061https://uilspace.unilorin.edu.ng/handle/20.500.12484/5578Nigeria is again passing through a difficult moment with a chain of embarrassments in the National Assembly. Although corrupt practices have been a recurring decimal in the nation’s political history, its rate and dimension since the resurgence of civil rule in 1999 is going beyond acceptable level in the country. The politicians are increasingly thinking that political office is a sure means of getting rich and they are not concerned about the impact of their unethical behaviours on the society. There have been waves of social restructuring and reforming to curb the corruption syndrome but the increasing social malaise calls for a re-examination of anti-corruption strategy. This paper, thus, focuses on character and moral education of the youths as a new paradigm for tackling corruption in Nigeria so as to attain sustainable development.enCorruptionMoral EducationNationalArticle
