“…The debate on the bill in the Senate revealed a divide of senators on regional lines. While the Southern senators, predominantly of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) underlined possible dangers, and even accused the government of 'internal colonialism', most of the Northern senators failed to see the danger (Omorogbe, 2020).…”

“…As a result, most Nigerians are living in penury, with the least human development index (World Bank, 2017). Nigeria is the eighth leading producer of crude oil globally and is the fifth-largest in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Member States (Omorogbe, 1996).

Purpose This study aims to investigate why anti-corruption statutes are not efficient in Nigeria’s upstream petroleum industry. Design/methodology/approach This study is a doctrinal legal research that embraces a point-by-point comparative methodology with a library research technique. Findings This study reveals that corruption strives on feeble implementation of anti-corruption legal regime and the absence of political will in offering efficient regulatory intervention. Finally, this study finds that anti-corruption organisations in Nigeria are not efficient due to non-existence of the Federal Government’s political will to fight corruption, insufficient funds and absence of stringent implementation of the anti-corruption legal regime in the country. Research limitations/implications Investigations reveal during this study that Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) operations are characterised with poor record-keeping, lack of accountability as well as secrecy in the award of oil contracts, oil licence, leases and other financial transactions due to non-disclosure or confidentiality clauses contained in most of these contracts. Also, an arbitration proceeding limit access to their records and some of these agreements under contentions. This has also limited the success of this research work and generalising its findings. Practical implications This study recommends, among other reforms, soft law technique and stringent execution of anti-corruption statutes. This study also recommends increment in financial appropriation to Nigeria’s anti-corruption institutions, taking into consideration the finding that a meagre budget is a drawback. Social implications This study reveals that corruption strives on feeble implementation of anti-corruption legal regime and the absence of political will in offering efficient regulatory intervention. Corruption flourishes due to poor enforcement of anti-corruption laws and the absence of political will in offering efficient regulatory intervention by the government. Originality/value The study advocates the need for enhancement of anti-corruption agencies' budgets taking into consideration the finding that meagres budgets are challenge of the agencies.
