Nepotism might exist throughout the world, but it is more prevalent in societies with limited legal and regulatory safeguards – societies where laws and institutions are weak. Nepotism is corruption and corruption threatens legal norms, democracy, human rights and freedom. It undermines the system of state management, social justice and fairness, distorts fair competition, and hinders economic development and moral basis of society.
Nepotism affects economic development by hindering human capital development. Perhaps, the reason why nepotism is perpetrated more in the public sector than in the private sector is that private sector organisations have profitable goals that need effective employees who have the competence to achieve the final goal, which is maximising the shareholders’ wealth. But the reality is different in the public sector because often there are no measurable goals, especially in developing countries, where the citizen is forced to accept public service outcomes regardless of quality.
A 2019 Statista survey showed that about half of the applicants who secured a position in the Nigerian public sector used nepotism, bribery, or both. Some 20 percent of male respondents and 24 percent of female respondents declared to have paid a bribe for their position in the public sector. In addition, around 16 percent of both male and female respondents secured their job as public officials with the help of friends or relatives.
In Nigeria, nepotism has been elevated to state policy under President Muhammadu Buhari administration. He has been heavily criticised by Nigerians for his lopsided appointments.
