Two weeks ago, the United States Department of State reported a climate of impunity in the Buhari government “that allows officials to engage in corrupt practices with a sense of exemption from punishment.” In the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2018, the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour, said Nigeria had made little progress in efforts to limit corruption in its public service.
I thought that there would be a vigorous reaction from the Buhari government on this US report, with facts and figures. Two weeks after, none came. I guess there is really nothing to defend in this fantasy war against corruption. Last Monday, I watched the Minister of Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah, perspiring while defending the 2019 budgetary proposal of the ministry before lawmakers. The Senate Committee on Trade rejected the ministry’s budget proposal because it voted N42 billion for a firm, Nigeria Special Economic Zone Company, which the minister said was a government firm, but the lawmakers found out that it was a private company.
It is depressing to note that many of the sleaze allegations in the last four years are waved aside with impunity. I can’t forget that ofthe Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu. Last year, the sacked Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund , Abdullahi Baffa, had alleged that he was forced out of office owing to his refusal to provide monetary kickbacks to Adamu.
Hahahaha going against anti corruption is a lost war ThisDay live. Simply don't be corrupt!
All these PDP newspapers have no shame at all.
