“…Between 1985 and the return to democratic rule in 1999, successive military regimes were blighted by corruption and repressive governance. 181 Neopatrimonialism and personalisation of government rule underpinned the spread of corruption across the military, civil society and the private sector. 182 Indeed, at a time, corruption in Nigeria was said to be the "national culture".…”

This article examines the institutional pathology of corruption within the Nigerian Navy, and its broader manifestation and implications within Nigeria’s maritime industry. Beginning with an examination of the disappearance of the vessel, MT African Pride, in October 2003, the article reflects on the African Pride case to show that far from being a one-off incident, it was indicative of the opportunism and criminality that naval operations within the oil-rich Niger Delta have generated. Other primary case studies relevant to corruption within Nigeria’s maritime industry, and interrogated by the article, include the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA). The article shall also examine a range of secondary case studies. These are relatively brief meditations on incidents, individuals and maritime industry private contractors and government parastatals, which are relevant to the debate to naval and maritime corruption in Nigeria.

One of the problems facing the nascent democracy in Nigeria which is more pressing than economic development is the high rate of brazen corruption in virtually all facets of the polity's national life. Thus, the thrust of this paper is a review of the recent 'WAR' against corruption in Nigeria. The paper surveys a number of manifestations of corruption in the body politik and the country's woes. The paper however infers that unless the institutional mechanisms put in place are rejuvenated coupled with political will on the part of the political actors, the so-called war may be a mirage after all.

“…Il est enfin impossible de s'intéresser à des activités délictueuses commises antérieurement au 13 juin 2000, date de l'adoption de la loi. L'atténuation du projet de loi initial n'a pas empêché les deux assemblées fédérales d'engager un bras de fer avec le président pour tenter de vider la loi de tout contenu, à la veille des élections de 2003 (Enweremadu, 2003). 9.…”
