Corruption has seriously retarded development of the
country and Nigeria cannot afford to treat it as business as usual, Sen. Bala
Mohammed, Minister of FCT, has said.
Mohammed
stated this on Thursday in Abuja during a sensitisation programme organised by
the FCTA Anti-Corruption and Monitoring Unit for the senior officers of the
administration
“Corruption
has remained a major enemy of our progress as people and as a nation; and with
the determination to rid us of these unwholesome practices and problems, the
FCT Administration will continue to work to ensure zero tolerance on
corruption.
“It
is in this vein that Mr President has continued to demonstrate clearly his
intention to rid the country of corruption; for instance, the on-going trial of
those involve in oil subsidy scam among other cases, is a clear testimony and
indication of the present administration’s commitment and determination to
ensure transparency, accountability and good governance; and we cannot afford
to lag behind.” (NAN)
