Abstract
Writing on a project topic like ‘combating corruption in Nigeria; case study of the EFCC has presented numerous challenges, bearing in mind that not very many people are aware of the scope of responsibility being handled by the ant -graft body.
The journey takes one through in the first instance the creating of an overview of the fact that corruption really has Nigerian in its stragle hold, the recognition of the harm the corruption endemie has wrought on the Nigerian psyche and the need for fighting this human created cancer.
The need for the creation of an anti-graft body becomes very apparent when one look at the presidents set by other matters of corruption (huge as it were) swept under the carpet for lack of gats to deal with same.
The response of Nigerian as to whether the aims, objectives for the setting up of the EFCC have been met is also dealt with therein
How much can the EFCC achieve, and the question of whether Nigeria can in the end say ‘Uhuru is tackled therein.

Introduction
Nigeria became an independent nation on the 1st of October 1960.
A country richly endowed with monumental geographical and diverse natural resources ranging from crude oil to gas (natural), coal al, et.
Nigeria possesses potential market ability for rapid economic development.
However, inspite of these obvious resources and its advantage, Nigeria remains a poor and underdeveloped country.
Scholars have achieved and advanced several reasons to explain this parlous and depleting state.
One of the major and prominent factors advanced is corruption
Corruption has been a major problem in Nigeria since independence.
Perhaps, it may be that we even inherited ‘the problem’ from our colonial masters.
Numerous state institutions have become dysfunctional because of large-scale corrupt practices.
Projects are routinely abandoned, and no one is brought to book, public goods and resources are diverted to private ends.
Corruption endangers the good governance and the democracy we see today.
Corruption was cited as one of the more prominent reasons for Nigeria’s first military coup by the coupists of January 15, 1966 military putsch.
Massive corruption and resource brigandage also were sited as reasons for the military takes over by the regime of Buharil Tunde Idiagbon on December 31st 1983.
This is in-spite of the fact that even the military elite cannot be called saints on the one side.
Due to the pervasive nature of corruption in Nigeria, Nigeria’s former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his inaugural speech on May 29 1999 affirmed that corruption, the single greatest bane of our society today would be tackled head- on, at all levels.
No society can achieve its full potentials if it allows corruption to become a full blown cancer as its has become in our nation.
According to the World Bank (1997:5), “corruption thrives when economic policies are poorly designed, education levels or standards are low, civil society participation is weak, public sector management is poor, and accountability of public institutions are weak”.
Corruption has become the order of the day in our public institution, and because Government business is nobody’s business, the country continues to suffer (Nzemeke and Erhagbe: 2002:131).
