become a burden not only to Nigeria but also to the international community. The sad situation in Nigeria is that the measures put in place by successive governments in the last three decades as medication have failed. It has become so endemic, pandemic, systemic, and a threat to the fledgling democracy in Nigeria. Arising from this helpless situation, Nigerian government finds itself in its difficulty to win corruption war that spurred the authors of this paper to suggest Legislative Oversight Option as a Legislative Administrative Strategy to tame the monster, corruption in Nigeria. The study suggested how Legislative Oversight can be strengthened in Nigeria to a robust Constitutional mechanism to checkmate the usual excesses of the executive arm of government and its executive bodies to curb waste in governance.
