conference “Education, Corruption, Resource Utilization and Issues of Security
Challenges in Contemporary Nigeria” could not have come at a better time than now
the country is facing a coordinated fight against corruption by the Federal
Government, the menace of insurgency from the Niger Delta region and Boko Haram
from the North Eastern Nigerian
