The phenomenon has persisted in many countrie s mostly due to weak political will or the lack of it necessary t o curb the menace. In its simplest form corruption reflects the use of pub lic office for private gain. As a remedy to this there should be a demonst ration of credible intent by political lea ders, stakeholders groups to at tack perceived causes or effects of corruption at a systemic level. This demonstration of credible capacit y reflects political will. The political will to curb corruption is also the political will to pursue other g oals like good governance and national unity.

Gowon’s proposal ref lects strong political will for good governance, because, if political will is to be more than just a slogan, it must be understood in a broad cont ext. This reinforces the beli eve that if there is an absence of polit ical will at the top, there will be a general lack of commitment to combat co rruption, and pursue other impor tant national goals as political dev elopment and poverty reduction.
