The chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, has faulted Transparency
Owansanoye spoke during a two-day training organized by the Commission for journalists in Abuja.He stated that countries that are victims of corruption are rated poorer by TI than the countries that are the recipients of the proceeds of the crime.
“We’ve taken enough time to study it in the areas where criticisms were fair, and we needed to adjust and the places where it simply ignored the realities of the anticorruption efforts from a developing country perspective and, of course, from the point of view of the international political economy.
“Of course, we understand very clearly that in developing countries like Nigeria, we have our challenges, and we do not deny that; we are trying to deal with them following the law and within the local challenges we face. But occasionally, when there are prospects to progress and advance the course, frustrations are encountered that are not immediately visible to observers.
