ROLE OF ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIME COMMISSION IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IN EDUCATIONAL ..

This study looks into the role of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in fighting corruption in Nigeria's educational sector, specifically in Ankpa L.G.A. The research used 800 target populations and then used Yaro Yamane's formular to calculate the sample size, which came to 700. The survey research design was used in this study. The data was analysed using percentages, frequencies, and chi-square. The findings show that the EFCC's battle against corruption in the education sector in Ankpa L. G. A. is hampered by system disorder, a lack of social cooperation, and the presence of prominent Nigerians. The study boldly recommended that the Nigerian government give the commission a free hand in the fight against corruption; societal cooperation, support, and systematic orders should be encouraged, and the Commission should ensure that they fight corruption within the scope of the law in Nigeria to avoid abuse of power, and that they are free of corruption and nepotism in their duties.
