dc.description.abstracthe dawns of 20th and 21st centuries have brought considerable acceptance of democratic rule globally more than any other century. To many, democracy is seen as a reasonable yardstick to gauge citizens’ involvement in political activities and events within the polity. In modern society worldwide, democracy is regarded as a symbol of social civilization and progress. No wonder in recent times, citizens in countries in North Africa and in the Middle-East who had lived under oppressive dictatorships for decades are rising up to stake up their claim to democracy. However, in Nigeria in the past one decade, corruption in its various forms and contexts has emerged as one of the most widespread problem affecting the country’s nascent democracy and consequently stifles the much excitement that heralded the rebirth of democracy in Nigeria’s fourth republic. In the light of the foregoing, this study discusses extent of legislative corruption in Nigeria and its implications on broader good governance agenda. Set within the framework of democratic consolidation, the study argues that unabated legislative corruption may weaken the structure necessary for democratic consolidation in the country and consequently thwarts democracy and repress people.en_US
