Why corruption thrives in Nigeria — Buhari
Corruption will continue to thrive in the country when accountability is ignored, President Muhammadu Buhari has said.Institute of Chartered Accountants of NigeriaBefore declaring the conference open, the president said because of the damaging effects of corruption on the country’s economy, his administration was doing everything possible to curb the malaise.
Urging accountants to always see corruption as a gross violation of human right, he described his administration’s fight against graft as a “struggle for nation building for the future generation.” The president said government will continue to provide the desired leadership to the fight with the optimism that the glorious days will soon come.
He lamented that in a society where people celebrate those that fraudulently enrich themselves, corruption will continue to thrive. “The day Nigerians and many Africans are fed up with corruption, things will begin to change. But as long as we celebrate thieves and money, no matter how they are got, everybody don’t care about how it is got. The day we begin to get angry, the country will change within a month,” Mr Lumumba said.
