    abstract = {Corruption can be seen as an illegal, immoral
or dishonest behaviour. Corruption in Nigeria has reached
a very high degree of prevalence. The endemic state of
corruption in Nigeria therefore warrants concrete action
by all stakeholders in the fight against it. The purpose of
the study is to evolve a permanent mechanism, through
which corruption could be minimized or completely
wiped out in the society. The study was aimed at creating
an awareness of the evils of corruption in Nigeria.
Another important purpose of the study is to discuss the
methods that could be used to reduce corruption through
adult education. The study, therefore, examines the
concept of corruption and how it is carried out in the
Nigerian society. It looked at the different forms of
corruption in the society and went ahead to discuss the
effects of corruption as it affects both individuals and the
society. The study also focuses on the causes of
corruption and the roles of adult education in minimizing
corruption in Nigeria. Adult education in this study is
regarded as all forms of education provided for adults and
is obtained through formal, informal and non-formal
situations.}
