Abstract:
The study examines ethics in business, political climate and the survival of
business in Nigeria Secondary sources of data were used as veritable tools for its
analysis. Findings revealed that a society that is not politically secured like
Nigeria will not guarantee business survival. The study is anchored on the Global
Systems Theory. The gap of the study is that there is a nexus between business
survival and security and the latter should be prioritized if the first is to be
achieved. The study concludes that ethics is a concern for ideal standards of
human conduct and the fundamental values of man and business are incorporated
here. The study recommends that for business to succeed in Nigeria and attracting
both local and foreign investors, her political climate that is riddled with violent
extremism, banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery, corruption, boko haram and
militancy, epileptic power supply, unfavorable exchange rate etc. should give way
so that business objective will be realized in the best interest of all Nigerians.
