ISSUES OF BUREAUCRATIC CORRUPTION IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES
Corruption is no doubt an age long canker that is nakedly tearing down many bureaucratic organizations in the entire world. In this paper, a concise portrait of bureaucratic corruption in Nigerian universities is painted. Specifically, the ideal bureaucracy is thrashed out side by side with bureaucratic corruption in order to clearly bring to light the differences between the latter and the former. To shore up the discourse, bureaucratic organization theory is adopted as a frame of reference. This paper relied on data gathered from the secondary source to analyze some of the implications of bureaucratic corruption in Nigerian universities. It was recommended that the rules and procedures which are decided for every work in all Nigerian universities should be rightly applied since adherence to fixed rules will possibly keep the behaviour of employees in check and propel them to work in the formally approved manner.
