ABSTRACT
The focus of this study was to bring to light the impact of EFCC and ICPC on public service accountability in Nigeria. ICPC and EFCC are two anti-graft agencies established in 2000 and 2004 respectively and charged with the responsibility of restoring accountability in Nigeria. Nigeria’s international accountability rating has been on the decline and the extent to which these two agencies have delivered on their mandates has remained a subject of controversy. Against this backdrop, this study sought (i) To determine the relationship between EFCC and ICPC and their role in achieving accountability, (ii) to determine the relationship between government funding and EFCC and ICPC activities. The study used questionnaire to gather data while chi-square statistic was used to test hypothesis. The study found that there is no significant relationship between EFCC and ICPC and their role in achieving accountability; there is a significant relationship between government funding and EFCC and ICPC activities. The study concluded that EFCC and ICPC need to do more to achieve their mandate. It is recommended that EFCC and ICPC should be given enabling environment in terms of autonomy, enabling laws and adequate funding in order to perform.
