The former head of Nigeria’s Budget Monitoring and Due Process office, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, says the charges of corruption levelled against Nigeria by economy monitoring organisations, both nationally and internationally, are true and should not be treated with levity.
At a forum on leadership organised by the Day Star Christian Centre in Lagos on Wednesday, she stated that the claims were pointers to the fact that no reasonable progress had been made in the fight against corruption.
Mrs Ezekwesili hinted that Nigeria, after 53 years of independence, had no....
governance but merely ‘massive transaction of operations’.
“There is no good governance in Nigeria. Good governance is about governance that gives the highest possible results and it is on the basis that most of the time the best choices of policies are being made and that results are being clearly achieved.
“If you look at the misalignment of our resources and the results, it will tell you that we have less than the kind of effective governance that we should have,” she explained.
She cited rankings on corrupt countries by Transparency International and other agencies, which she claimed showed that corruption was a problem for Nigeria.
“The government should review the rankings and tackle corruption as it should to ensure that obstacles hindering Nigerians from becoming great are removed,” Dr. Ezekwesili advised.
