Corruption is a socio-economic phenomenon that has infiltrated the Nigerian economy, negatively affecting various sectors of the economy, most notably the agricultural sector, which has been rendered comatose; thus, a study on the economics of corruption; implications for economic disruptions and agricultural inefficiency in Nigeria was reviewed. Poverty, greed, self-interest, insatiable needs, covetousness, and the desire for power are all factors that contribute to corruption in Nigeria. Its economic indexes included income disparity, bureaucracy, job insecurity, excessive societal values, and so on. Corruption has a variety of economic consequences in Nigeria, including slowed economic growth, higher investment costs, lower GDP, effects on employment, and balance of payment effects, among others.
