| Abstract: This study was on developing capacity for the academic staff of Niger Delta University through ethical understanding and practice. The need for the study arose because of issues of professional misconduct that were observed among some category of staff. The study adopted the descriptive survey design with a population of all the academic staff of the University. This gave the total figure of 767. A sample of 326 was drawn using the purposive sampling technique.
