Ilorin: Corruption, inimical to organisational growth - CIPM boss

Date: 2012-04-18

The Chairman, Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria, Kwara State Chapter, Mallam Mohammed Aliyu, has said that corruption is one of the factors that inhibit the growth and sustenance of corporate organisations.

Speaking during the Annual General Meeting of the chapter in Ilorin on Tuesday, Aliyu said corruption had the tendency to stifle activities in organisations, and reduce their service delivery and profitability.

He added that if left unchecked, corruption could lead to retrenchment, and on the long run, the winding up of the establishment.

Aliyu called on government's anti-graft agencies such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to be more proactive and beam their searchlights on corporate organisations so as to prevent corruption and arrest culprits in order to serve as deterrents to others.

He said the branch had recorded a lot of achievements, including professional development and capacity building of the members in the last one year.

The CIPM chairman said the branch was making concerted efforts to ensure the commencement of study centres in Ilorin and Offa, adding that arrangements had reached advanced stages on that.

Aliyu said, "Corruption inhibits organisational growth because money meant to provide goods and services is illegally diverted. If there is no service, there is going to be redundancy.

"Redundancy may lead to reorganisation that may result into retrenchment or severance of service. So, corruption is endemic and has eaten into so many facets of the society and the human resource sector is not an exception."

"The government is making efforts. The agencies responsible for fighting corruption should be more proactive in their efforts. Also, the internal control of organisations should be strengthened, although there could be collaboration to defraud the company," he added.

Aliyu also said the negation of already laid structures and guidelines in picking successors for management and board level positions in organisations could discourage and sideline competent and eligible candidates, who were members of the organisations.

He lamented that in some organisations, laid down procedures were sometimes ignored, while the most senior or even competent staff would be sidelined in appointments.

According to him, this can make such a sidelined management staff to feel unappreciated, humiliated and frustrated, and could force him to withdraw his services from such an organisation.

Aliyu said laid down procedures and competence should be the criteria in the selection of successors when management positions became vacant.

He said, "From the public sector organisations, at times, you do not rule out political considerations. That political consideration should be taken away. Let us base it on standards and rules.
