President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has pledged to tackle corruption head-on, emphasising that no Nigerian is immune to its effects.
In his address at the 6th Economic and Financial Crimes Commission – National Judicial Institute Workshop for Justices and Judges in Abuja, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Tinubu noted that corruption has become a cancer denying Nigeria the full benefits of its resources. He stressed the need for collective action against corruption.
The President noted that the EFCC has made significant strides in prosecuting corruption cases, with notable improvements in the justice sector. However, challenges persist, including frivolous applications, intimidation of judges, and conflicting court orders. “We will also continue to support the work of the EFCC to ensure that it continues to deliver its statutory mandate without let or hindrance.”
“We are convinced that it is ultimately more profitable to prevent than to investigate and prosecute corruption cases.”
