Corruption within the leadership and management of Nigerian higher education is a substantial impediment to the sector's capacity to foster social and economic advancement. This study aims to understand the various forms of academic corruption among leaders in Nigerian higher education institutions (HEIs) and identify potential remedies for corrupt practices. Employing a systematic literature review methodology across Web of Science, Scopus, ERIC, DOAJ, and Google Scholar, 33 papers were included in the analysis, all of which highlighted the prevalence and rising concern of corruption among Nigerian higher education leaders and management. Findings indicate the most common forms of corruption are bribery, misappropriation of funds, favouritism/nepotism, embezzlement, and selling of admission and appointments. The proposed solutions emphasise strengthening anti-corruption agencies, promoting accountability, implementing ethical re-engineering, and leveraging technology.
