Uzroci političke korupcije: Nigerija 1960 — 1966.
The Causes of Political Corruption: Nigera 1960-1966

Summary/Abstract: In the early years of Nigeria’s political independence political corruption was spread over the whole society. The causes of corruption can he found in the fact that state officials enjoy too many discretionary rights, that the state interferes with the country’s social and economic life, that the administration is inefficient and slow: to this the tradition of maintaining a family that includes collateral branches has to be added, as well as remains of colonial mentality and traditions. The author considers that through education and the socialization of the population, as well as by introducing new symbols of social success and the creation of unique moral values in the state administration, the negative consequences of political corruption might be reduced.
