ABSTRACT

The broad objective of this study is to examine the effect of government cashless policy on corruption in Nigeria. To   achieve this objective 35 questionnaire were administered to ministries department and agencies MDAS in Ede north and south local Government in Osun State.  The data were analyzed using simple percentage and standard deviation to test the hypotheses. Base on the findings, it shows that the adoption of cash-less policy is high because of its policy benefits in Nigeria economy even though it encounters lots of challenges. However, experts and government officials have continued to paint the system in very colorful tones. For instance, the World Bank says that “operating a cashless society in Nigeria was strategy for fast-tracking growth in the nations’ financial sector”. The findings also show that a variety of benefits are expected to be derived by various stakeholders from an increased utilization of Cash-less policy.  Therefore, we recommend that Government and the CBN should create awareness on the benefits derivable from cashless policy for the improvement of businesses and economic development.
