Nigeria was losing an average of $10 billion yearly as a result of numerous frauds and abuses connected to public procurement. On June 4, 2007, the Public Procurement Act was passed as a safeguard against corrupt practices and to firmly establish accountability in governance. Despite the PPA’s existence, some dishonest civil servants have been seen adding names of nonexistent workers to the government’s payroll in order to benefit financially. While earlier studies concentrated on the framework for public procurement, there is a dearth of study from the perspectives of administrative corruption and the adoption of green, sustainable public procurement in the Nigerian Civil Service. The institutional theory is used in the study. The review of reliable secondary literature constituted the foundation of the investigation. Results show that, generally, low pay, poverty, institutional weakness, and an insatiable human thirst for material wealth were strongly correlated with corrupt views of civil workers.
