Stakeholders have emphasized the need for sustained efforts, collaboration, and ethical conduct in tackling corruption in Nigeria.
At the 38th Anti-Corruption Situation Room in Abuja, EFCC Chairman Olanipekun Olukoyede, ICPC Chairman Musa Aliyu, and NELFUND Managing Director Akintunde Sawyerr called for a unified approach to fighting corruption at both national and subnational levels.
Olukoyede stressed that governance should be a responsibility, not a means of amassing wealth, attributing high levels of public sector corruption to this mindset. He urged citizens to refrain from defending corrupt individuals and instead support anti-corruption agencies.
ICPC Chairman Musa Aliyu outlined a three-pronged strategy for combating corruption: enforcement, prevention, and public awareness, while Sawyerr highlighted the importance of technology in reducing corruption risks.
Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, called for greater public involvement in the fight against corruption, urging EFCC to mobilize workers, intellectuals, and youth to demand accountability.
Meanwhile, HEDA Chairman Olanrewaju Suraju stressed that Nigeria’s major challenge is not a lack of laws but the political will to implement them effectively.
