The Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, and the Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Prof Bolaji Owasanoye, have identified corruption as a major threat to Nigeria’s socio-economic growth, public trust and rule of law.
Governor Akeredolu and Prof Owasanoye made this known on Thursday in Akure, Ondo State, at the commissioning of the anti-graft agency’s prototype State Office Building by the governor. The governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Princess Catherine Oladunni Odu, advocated collective efforts between the Federal Government and the sub-nationals to mitigate the spread of corruption across every sector of the economy.
“At the sub-national level, corruption is responsible for the challenges of meeting the primary obligation of government to citizens which is the security and wellbeing of the people,” he said. Prof Owasanoye assured that the Commission would offer support to states in tackling corruption.
