ROLE OF VALUE CLARIFICATION IN MITIGATING CORRUPTION TENDENCIES AMONG NIGERIAN YOUTHS

T A Adebowale

Abstract


Corruption is seen as a plague affecting every institution in the society. It is a global phenomenon that is very worrisome, but very pronounced in the third world like Nigeria. It is a major contributing factor to underdevelopment of the third world. Due to the danger corruption is imposing on people’s credibility, it is found necessary to explore available measures to counter it in Nigeria. One of such measures is value clarification. This paper tries to look into: corruption as a concept; the features of corruption; corruption in different institutions; trends and causes of corrupt practices globally; its classifications and consequences; way forward through value clarification; implications for social workers, counselling psychologists, and teachers; conclusion.
