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.
