Abstract:
In the last two decades, issues of accountability and performance have been key in discussions of public sector management. The pivotal nature of Accountability is in line with the general drive for effective performance in the public sector, as every official needs to educate the public on their performance level as regards their responsibilities in the best ways possible and using the resources available to them in effective and efficient manner. It is based on the above backdrops that this article carried out a fundamental review of extant literature in conformity with conceptual basis, as regards the subject, with the view to establish what has been reported. The review was based on the supposition that unless good governance is in place with careful observation of public accountability, effective and efficient public sector performance would not be achieved. After the review, the study observed a dropping accountability level in the Nigerian public service and concluded that there is need to encourage some factors like whistleblowing and social adult, in order to return public accountability to an increasing form.
