E-Governance and Corruption Impasse in Nigeria
Abstract
E-governance is a technological innovation that brings governance to the fore of
integrity and accountability. It requires high technological commitment so as to
bring the government closer to the people. Corruption on the other hand is a bane
to growth and development in any country. E-governance is a corrective measure
to corruption which prevents government officials from shady activities due to
its transparency nature. The connection between e-governance and corruption
is analyzed in this chapter, and Nigeria is selected as a case study in developing
countries. The chapter concludes on the premise that e-governance reduces the
strength of corruption in any country and more investment is needed to enhance
this development.
