| Description |
In Africa, the challenges of overcoming corruption and the dirty politics of resource control in the continent are numerous and costly. One would have expected something better; but in Africa, corruption has pervaded every facet of life including the continent’s political institution and its resource control industry. This has happened so much so that aided by corruption; the real people who now control Africa’s resources are the super nations of the world. African leaders whose duty it is to protest external control of her people’s resources and to fight corruption have failed to do so being the major beneficiaries of the same corruption-laden leadership and resource control industry in Africa. Against this backdrop, several theories (solutions) to corruption and resource control in Africa have been advanced. This paper argues that in the midst of them all, any workable solution to corruption and resource control in Africa must exclude government as far as possible and that such a solution lies in the NADECO Nigeria-based civil society pressure, where civil society coalition was complemented by implementation of relevant anti-graft laws that were available in the country growth.
