Prioritizing Governance and Anti-Corruption Strategies in Nigeria Using the Fermatean Fuzzy Method
Journal Title: Journal of Operational and Strategic Analytics - Year 2025, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The enhancement of governance and the implementation of effective anti-corruption strategies are critical for fostering public trust, accountability, and transparency in developing countries. In this study, a structured approach was adopted to identify and prioritize key strategies for improving governance and combating corruption in Nigeria. An extensive literature review, supplemented by expert consultation, led to the identification of eight fundamental strategies. To systematically determine their relative significance, the Fermatean Fuzzy Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (FF-SWARA) method was employed. The findings indicate that strengthening the legal and regulatory framework through effective enforcement, judicial reforms, and the establishment of independent oversight bodies with legal protection and operational autonomy are the most impactful measures. These strategies are essential for enhancing public trust, accountability, and transparency in Nigeria. The insights derived from this study provide a robust foundation for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to implement targeted anti-corruption reforms in Nigeria and other developing economies facing similar governance challenges.
