Presidential advisory committee member carpets anti-corruption agencies

Date: 2015-09-19

The pioneer Director of the United Nations African Institute for the Prevention of Crime, Kampala, Uganda and a member of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Femi Odekunle, has declared that the anti-corruption agencies and the criminal justice system in the country are largely ineffective against corruption.

This was as he argued that their personnel often appear corrupt and compromised in their operations and decisions.

The former UN Director, spoke yesterday while delivering the 5th convocation lecture of Al-Hikmah University, titled, 'Tackling corruption in Nigeria: Strategic and operational options for the Buhari administration,' in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

According to him, "The anti-corruption agencies and the criminal justice system are largely ineffective against corruption and their personnel often appear corrupt and compromised in their operations and decisions."

He stated that corruption had remained endemic, pervasive, and systemic in virtually all areas of Nigeria's public and corporate life.

Odekunle maintained that the consequences of corruption for the nation continue to be devastating to the extent that it is 'killing' the polity economically, politically and socio-culturally thus resulting in unjustifiable underdevelopment.

"Now, with the emergence of this kind of desirable leadership, (Buhari leadership), all should be well with the fight against corruption - all things being equal. However, all things are not and cannot be equal because as of today, Buhari appears an oasis of integrity in a desert of corruption," he stated.
