Anti-corruption campaign in Nigeria (1999-2007)
The politics of a failed reform
After completing the transition from military to civilian rule, Nigeria began a comprehensive anti-corruption campaign in 1999. Some of the reforms included the establishment of new anti-corruption agencies, a comprehensive reform of the public sector, and a global search for (looted) funds stashed away in other countries.

After completing the transition from military to civilian rule, Nigeria began a comprehensive anti-corruption campaign in 1999. Some of the reforms included the establishment of new anti-corruption agencies, a comprehensive reform of the public sector, and a global search for (looted) funds stashed away in other countries. Despite being unprecedented in many ways, the implementation of these programmes soon faced numerous challenges. Among the most obvious was the lack of capacity among some of the major institutions charged with the implementation of the reforms due to inadequate financial support, limited human resources, legal lacunas, an ineffective criminal justice system and constitutional immunity granted to key officials. To this can be added a weak civil society and the non-engagement of sub-national authorities (states and local governments), that together suggest the glaring absence of an internal political coalition against corruption.
Dr. David Enweremadu studied Political Science at the University of Ibadan, where he obtained a B.Sc Degree (Second Class Upper) in 1998 and M.Sc (PhD Grade) in 2001. After a brief stint as Research Assistant to Senator Tokumbo Afukuyomi of Lagos State, he proceeded to France for further studies, courtesy of a scholarship granted by IFRA Ibadan/French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which he won in April 2002. While in France, he studied at the Institut d'Études Politiques de Bordeaux, Université Montesquieu Bordeaux IV, for his M A/PhD, which he obtained with Distinction in 2006.
Dr. Enweremadu, who also holds a Professional Certificate in Public Relations from the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) and multi-lingual, joined the Department of Political Science, University of Ibadan, in September 2007. Dr Enweremadu also consults for a number of international organisations and his research interest includes Politics and Development in Africa; Public Policy and Administration and Anti-Corruption and Public Sector Reforms.
