title = {Evaluation of the Anti-Corruption Laws and Measures on Investment in Nigeria},
year = {2024},
note = {Nigeria's persistent corruption problem has significantly impeded its
sustainable development and investment attractiveness. The pervasive
nature of corruption poses substantial challenges to the nation's
economic progress, governance, and both local and international
investment opportunities. In response, various anti-corruption laws
and measures have been instituted to combat this issue and promote
transparency and accountability. This paper evaluates the
effectiveness of these laws and measures in enhancing Nigeria's
investment climate. Utilizing a doctrinal research methodology, the
paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the legal framework,
enforcement mechanisms, and practical outcomes. The paper identifies
significant challenges and gaps within the regulatory and
implementation mechanisms. It further delineates potential areas for
improvement in Nigeria's anti-graft efforts and their impact on
investments. The findings suggest that for anti-corruption measures to
be effective, the government must demonstrate political will by
adequately funding relevant agencies to enable optimal functioning.
The paper concludes that the robust implementation of anti-corruption
laws and mechanisms will enhance transparency, accountability, and
adherence to global best practices, thereby encouraging increased
investment in the country.},
