Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, has called on Nigerians to stop finger-pointing and look for solutions to corruption in the economy.
He spoke at the National Dialogue on Corruption with the theme: “The Limitless Ramifications of Corruption”, at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa on Thursday.
According to him, corruption is systematic in Nigeria.
“There’s no question at all, and it affects all segments of the society. It affects the religious, it affects agencies and civil society groups. There’s no one in our nation that can say he/she is not in one way or the other, not necessarily being complicit! but at least under some influence of or some of the implications of corruption.
“So, I think we should leave the finger-pointing because the finger- pointing is unhelpful. What’s important is that we recognise that there’s a major problem here.
“What I’d like us to do, if possible, in the course of this dialogue, is to look at models that have worked elsewhere and see whether they are somewhat applicable here.
“The truth of the matter is that there is nothing peculiar about the Nigerian citizen or the Nigerian type. Corruption thrives where it is allowed to thrive, and there are many societies that have found themselves in worse circumstances than Nigeria and have somehow managed to solve their problems.”.
