ABSTRACT
The purpose of this
research work is to evaluate the implications of bribery and corruption on
students academic performance with reference to Institute of Management
Technology (IMT) Enugu. To guide this study, some research questions and
research hypothesis were formulated. A review of literature was done to ensure
solid conclusion for the study. A structural questionnaire was developed and
administered by the researchers to 50 students chi-square was used to test the
Null Hypothesis.
Some of the researchers
major findings include: the implications of the educational malpractice and the
influence of social ills, non-payment of salaries, non-challant attitude of the
students and lecturers, the worst is the inefficiency of the police force.
Based on this major
findings, the recommendations include: orientation of our value system, regular
payment of salaries has been acknowledged as the study of punishment, which a
wicked leader who knows only his pocket and that of his immediate families use
as a sanction against the civil servants. This is because that are wicked men
and love nothing else except wickedness.
Moreover, non-challant
education, learning work etc is a societal problem and must be stopped
forthwith
Finally, inefficiency of
the Nigeria police is now a cankerworm that is now disgracing the image of the
country, Nigeria, ways must be propagated to ameliorate the problem.

INTRODUCTION
1:1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Bribery and corruption
have done much damage in this country. They are both cancerous and contagious,
and It appears every is corrupt and bribe conscious because of our economic
depression.
Bribery and corruption
are social ills that have bedeviled Nigeria; it has eaten deep into our
national existence. Bribery and corruption have been seen to be very prominent
in Nigeria society and study of these as social phenomena is imperative because
it is a central problem of human society.
Macmillan contemporary
dictionary (1979) defined corruption as a deviation from honest, influenced by
bribery; an inducement in cash or kind to secure services or good from public
officials or other agencies through illegitimate or unlawful or irregular means
On the other hand, a
bribe is defined as price reward, gift or favour bestowed or promise with a
view to present the judgment or compute the conduct especially of a person in a
position of trust.
Some gormless lecturers
take delight in having immoral dealings with their female students they award
high marks to those beautiful undergraduates.
In addition, some
lecturers demand some amount from some students that concluded not to buy the
handout or were unable to pay for it. Some even collect money for late
submission of assignment and yet undercoat their scores, living them in a
position to see his / her failure or give bribe.
Similarly, an old
pensioner of Enugu State complained bitterly that he was asked to pay the sum
of #5000.00 as bribe before his total gratuity could be computed and paid to
him. When the old man was unable to meet the demand, his personal file was
declared missing and further action on his gratuity was suspended while his
colleagues who coughed out money to those concerned with the gratuity had
collected their entitlement long ago.
In WAEC and JAMB offices
for one of to obtain forms from these places, one had to grease the palm of
clerks responsible for the sale of these forms. If one fails to comply as
pointed out above, one may not obtain these forms urgently until the eleventh
hour, when one may now face the possibility of late submission which ordinarily
attract a fine of less than #500.00
Some employers in
various offices take bribe from the poor applicant before he employs him, and
when he is employed, the applicant (now an employee) in turn steal from his
employer.
Moreso, policemen
according to the nature of their work, found more guilty of bribery and
corruption than any other people in other walks of life. For instance, the
corrupt traffic policemen takes bribe from the reckless driver and allow him to
drive the defected vehicle an even without a driving license.
In different academic
institutions, bribery and corruption are the talk of the day, it has eaten deep
into our nation’s existence, it has being a culture or a system too of which
the results gotten from our different institution do not portray the real
academic performance of the students and as a result of this, the brilliant
ones and less privileged are the victims. It is because of the cankerworm of
bribery and corruption which has eaten deep into the fabrics of our academic
institutions that prompted the researcher to choose this very topic, “THE
IMPLICATION OF BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION ON STUDENTS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE’, and
has chosen IMT Enugu as a case study.
