AN
ASSESSMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF THE ROLES AND FUNCTIONS
ABSTRACT
The work was
one done on the assessment of secondary school students’ perception of the
roles and functions of I.C.P.C in aguata L.G.A of Anambra state. The idea was
to ascertain the student’s knowledge about the roles and functions of ICPC as
an anti-corruption agency in Nigeria amidst the famous EFCC. A simple random
sampling technique was adopted to select those students from all the 20 wards
in aguata L.G.A it was done on such a way that a secondary school was picked
out from each ward and as such five students and a teacher were selected from
each school. The students at the end of the study recorded their responses on
the awareness of the existence of ICPC and their perceptions about its roles
and functions are an anti-corruption agency. The teachers that were thus
selected gave their responses as a back-up evidence for their students’
awareness and perception of the roles and functions of ICPC in aguata L.G.A.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Nigeria,
like many other African countries, has been bedeviled by corruption especially
in her public life. This singular act has made Nigeria to loose its relevance
in the comity of Nations and has such has weighted down its developmental pace
as investors hardly invest in such economy. As we all know, corruption is a
cankerworm that has eaten deep into the fabric of our society at all levels. It
has caused decay and dereliction within the institution of government and the
society in physical, social and human terms corruption has been responsible for
the instability of successive governments since the first republic. every coup
d’etat since then has been in the name of stamping out the disease called
corruption. Unfortunately, the cure often turned out to be worse than the
disease, and Nigeria has been worse for it. Nigeria’ s external image took a
serious bashing as our believed country began to feature on top of every
corruption index.
The
government of fourth republic, Nigeria under the leadership of Olusegun
Obsanjo, in its effort to strengthening the rule of law and taking significant
steps to bringing about a material decrease in official corruption, as Obsanjo
(2000), rightly observed that “with corruption, ther can be no sustainable
development, nor political stability, by breeding and feeding an inefficiency,
corruption invariably strangles the system of social organization, in fact,
corruption is literally the anti-thesis of development and progress”. Therefore
came up with a number of policy initiatives to combat corruption. The main measure
of such policy initiative is the creation of a new independent anti-corruption
commission which will have jurisdiction over the investigation and prosecution
of all forms of official corruption, including the recovering of
misappropriated public funds whether held domestically or abroad.
In line with
this, on Tuesday June 13, 2000, the corrupt practices and other related
offences act otherwise known as anti-corruption act was signed into law and as
such independent corrupt practices and other related offences commission (ICPC)
was established.
“Independent
corrupt practices and other related offences commission (ICPC) is the apex body
saddled by law with the responsibility of fighting corruption and other related
offences in Nigeria which ought to employ all available legal means to rid
Nigeria of all forms of corruption and thus promote transparency, probity,
accountability and integrity in the public and private life”.
It is
therefore, expected of ICPC to be the foremost agent of change in the war against
corruption and other related offences in the polity and thereby restore Nigeria
to the enviable status of honour within the comity of Nations.
STATEMENT OF
PROBLEM
In Aguata
Local Government Area of Anambra State in particular and in Nigeria in general,
the presence of ICPC is hardly felt by secondary school students and the public
in general. Many students hardly know the roles and functions of ICPC not to
talk of knowing how effective or otherwise they have performed. This is caused
either by incompetence in the part of the commission or public unawareness of
such commission being in existence.
It is
against these problems that this study will be carried out.

purpose of carrying out this study are as follow:
To examine the
roles of independent corrupt practices and other related offences commission

To examine
the effects of the roles and functions of ICPC on the rate of corruption in
Nigeria.
To assess
the perception of the public especially secondary school students of the roles
and functions of ICPC.
To find out
factors hindering the success of ICPC in eradicating corruption in Nigeria as
well as assess its relevance in contemporary politics of Nigeria.
