    (IJBSMS, 2024-01) Abisoye Amos Olatunde; Adesiyan Emmanuel Ayobami
    Democracy envisions transparency and accountability in governance. The experience under the current democratic dispensation however appears to be contrary to the virtues promised by democracy. Corruption has assumed notorious dimensions and has become a drag on the development t of the country. Corruption is not a recent development in Nigeria. It has being with us over the years, and like a cancer, it has continue to spread to every part of the nation’s structure. Since corruption became a noticeable national malaise. Every government, military or civilian, had staged one kind of battle other against it. Nevertheless, corruption has escalated rather than abate. The paper probes the nexus between corruption, democracy and development in Nigeria. The rampaging scourge of corruption is blamed on poor leadership which is largely a product of distorted democratic process through election rigging. The paper concludes that corruption has being a clog on the path of progress and development. And that the country can only develop if the political leadership would demonstrate genuine concern to obliterate the menace.
