Nigeria's Former Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo has expressed support for President Muhammadu Buhari's anti-corruption crusade, giving another definition of corruption.
He described corruption as a killer and requested all Nigerians to support the President’s anti-corruption crusade.
“Corruption is not the only socio-economic reforms and development challenge in Nigeria, incompetence is another problem”.
“When you put incompetent persons in positions, that is also corruption because they cannot perform but end up stealing the national wealth and resources. So, let us join the present government’s effort in cleaning Nigeria off corruption, by enthroning meritocracy and excellence instead of mediocrity in our national life,” he said.
The former Minister charged the professional accountants to help in salvaging the nation by ensuring probity, accountability, keeping of books in a way that abhors corruption for economic sustainability and development.
“If all Accountants don’t allow corruption to happen, it won’t happen but once accountants compromise, they become part of the whole doldrums”, he added.
Nebo stated this yesterday while chairing the 2015 International Conference of the Department of Accountancy, Faculty of Management Sciences of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.
