Abstract

Corruption has long been a persistent challenge in Nigeria, influencing various sectors, including governance, public administration, and trade. This study investigates how corruption undermines the effective implementation of international trade laws and regulations, leading to inefficiencies, trade distortions, and weakened enforcement mechanisms. The research draws on qualitative and quantitative data to analyze the specific ways in which corrupt practices affect customs procedures, trade facilitation, and the overall regulatory framework. It explores how corruption among government officials, law enforcement agencies, and private sector entities compromises trade integrity, increases transaction costs, and deters foreign investment. The paper highlights the broader implications of corruption on Nigeria’s trade relationships and its ability to comply with international trade obligations. Ultimately, the study ended by providing policy recommendations to enhance transparency, strengthen institutional capacity, and promote good governance in order to improve the effective application of international trade law in Nigeria.
