      abstract = {Religion is in the heart and activity of every man, young and old. It is a common feature of every race. Religion most often is responsible for ordering and coordinating every aspect of human activity social, economic and political. It gives man confidence in the face of difficulties and uncertainties of life. In the traditional African society, religion determines the economic and social life of the people. The western and Islamic religions are not left out. Islam, for instance is essentially the total way of life of the adherent government of Nigeria has realized the moral decadence in every aspect of life in the society hence the cry for reforms. Needless to say, that the cause of all these problems was the separation of man from his creator. In the early to middle of twentieth century in Nigeria, corruption of any kind was unheard of, but today it is the order of the day. This paper explored the efforts of the government in carrying out various reform programmes and suggests ways that religious/moral education can eradicate corruption in the socio-economic life of the people. Towards this end, secondary source materials like books, journals and periodicals are employed. The paper argued that despite our religious activities in this nation, we still realize the moral decadence in every aspect of life in the society hence the cry for reforms. The findings clearly indicated that the adherents of the three principle religions in Nigeria need to exhibit good conduct. Religious education in itself therefore is the vehicle for desirable behaviour in the society. The paper adopts theological methods in carrying out the research work},
