Thus, this study examines if the operation of multinational oil corporations in Niger Delta complies with the principles of corporate integrity. The study adopted descriptive survey research design of ex-post facto. The instrument used in this research work was tagged Corporate Integrity and Sustainable Development Questionnaire (CISDQ). The research questions raised for the study were analysed with Mean and Standard Deviation statistical data.
