CONTRARY to the popular thinking that
Nigeria is corrupt due to the incessant stealing of public funds by a
few persons, the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission has said that
stealing is not corruption.
According to the commission, most acts credited to corruption have no relationship with stealing.
The ICPC chairman, Mr. Ekpo Nta, said
this when a....
delegation from the Council for the Regulation of
Engineering in Nigeria visited the commission in Abuja to forge
inter-agency partnership against corruption.
Nta noted that most Nigerians, including
the educated, did not quite understand what constituted corruption and
stressed that it was wrong to classify theft as such.
He said, “Stealing is erroneously
reported as corruption. We must go back to what we were taught at school
to show that there are educated people in Nigeria. We must address
issues as we were taught in school to do.”
The commission’s boss likened the
penchant for referring to theft as corruption to the ordinary Nigerian
who often called a roadside mechanic an engineer.
