The paper seeks to assess corruption, development and security in Nigeria, the research specifically examines the impact of Corruption on Developmental and Security; there are various measurements, scales and variety of causes of corruption that are undertaken through various methods. There are several types of corruption being practiced by Nigerians. Findings from the study showed that, corruption serves as the major factor for the retardation of Nigeria socially, economically and politically and has negatively impacted on the country’s corporate existence. What distinguished this study from previous ones is that, it examined the current security challenges faced by the country as a result of financial misappropriation.
