The advent of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Information Management Practices has recorded a steady growth rate over the past decade but has however brought down the level or the rate of corruption in Federal Ministry of Justice, Nigeria. It is therefore no wonder that corrupt practices like Insubordination, Absenteeism, Negligence and Dishonesty among others are on the increase in some ministries in the country. Although, some efforts have been made currently to reduce the occurrences of these corrupt practices. This study covers the influence of information management practices on transparency and accountability in Federal Ministry of Justice, Nigeria.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
The fight against corruption in Nigeria has had a long history. Successive governments have left a litany of public and private institutions, frameworks and initiatives to address the menace. Though some achievements have been recorded over the years, the battle against corruption remained largely ineffective. The absence of a coordinated strategic approach to the numerous initiatives to tackle corruption in the country has worsened the situation.
Corruption is defined as the misuse, abuse, misappropriation and misapplication of public resources or trust, and of institutions for undue private or third party benefits. Corrupting elements include inducements, acts of misconduct, or anything that has the potential to corrupt.
Section 2 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000 defines corruption as ‘‘bribery, fraud and other related offences’’. Section 46 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act 2004 also considers corruption to include the following economic and financial crimes: ‘‘non-violent criminal and illicit activity committed with the objective of earning wealth illegally either individually or in a group or organized manner thereby violating existing legislations governing the economic activities of governments and its administration and includes any form of fraud, narcotic drug trafficking, money laundering, embezzlement, bribery, looting and any form of corrupt practices, illegal arms deals, smuggling, human trafficking and child labour, illegal oil bunkering, illegal mining, tax evasion, foreign exchange malpractices including counterfeiting of currency, theft of intellectual property and piracy, open market abuse, dumping of toxic wastes and prohibited goods, etc.’’.
Several structures, institutions, laws and initiatives to promote public accountability and fight corruption have been introduced since the return to civilian rule in 1999. However, the investments made by successive governments in the fight against corruption are yet to deliver on the objective of effectively preventing and combating corruption in the management of public resources and public affairs. Nigeria thus, continues to fall short of the standards and requirements of an effective anti- corruption regime as embodied in regional and global anti-corruption conventions, in particular the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) 2003, which Nigeria ratified on the 14th of December 2004.
The Nigeria Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS) seeks to identify and close existing gaps in the anti-corruption initiatives currently in place. It emphasizes the institutionalization of results based systems and structures, as well as appropriate incentives for increasing and sustaining citizen’s participation in the fight against corruption. The ethical reform value of the anti-corruption crusade can only be realized through adoption and ownership by all stakeholders, leading to the effective implementation, management and enforcement of the provisions and recommendations of the strategic plan. Also, the basic provisions and recommendations in this Strategy document need to have the force of law in order to be effective.
Implementation of information management practice the Federal Ministry of Justice is to ensure accountability and transparency in the ministry. The strategy enjoins all citizens to adapt to the demands of its key principles and reconnect with its core values in order to save a nation that is challenged by widespread impunity, disregard of the collective good, and rule of law.
1.2 Statement of the problem
Corruption in its many forms remains one of the most significant obstacles to progress in modern Nigeria, just as it has throughout much of human history. It promotes underdevelopment, lack of trust in our public service and weakens the legitimacy of public institutions before citizens by eroding their capacity to advance and protect public interest. Corruption encourages selfish tendencies among the elite and distorts incentives in the private sector.
It has negative impacts on efficiency, investment climate and overall levels of economic growth and disproportionately hurts the interest of the poor and marginalized in the society especially women and children. The rising scale of organized criminality, widespread violence, armed struggle, and of late terrorism, sweeping through our national landscape has been directly and indirectly attributed to corruption. The need for an all-out fight against corruption is more imperative now than ever to save the country from further decay.
As observed by His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari: ‘If we do not fight corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria”. Such an affirmation from the head of government calls for broader strategy to tackle corruption differently from the way it has been done in the past in order to achieve expected results.
The use of information management practice to ensure transparency and accountability is a powerful tool of fighting corruption in Federal government level. This strategy promotes a new approach, which essentially builds to promote the efforts of fighting corruption in the country. This study covers the study of the influence of information management practice on the transparency and accountability in Federal Ministry of Justice, Nigeria.

CHAPTER FIVE
5.1 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
It is glaring that the advent and increase of information and communication technologies has paved a smooth path for ensuring transparency and accountability. It is also clear that our current strategies, laws and efforts are inadequate to curb the situation on ground. However, the fight against crime is not on any individual, law enforcement agency or government; rather, it has to be a collective and united effort of all. Though we might not be able to completely eradicate crime, hand in hand we will be able to frustrate their work and ensure a fairly safe technological Nigeria. The government should immediately work on laws concerning crime and provide the appropriate law enforcement agencies with required instruments to investigate and prosecute criminals.
