The
Federal Government alongside stakeholders are putting in place new
national anti-corruption strategy to expose corrupt people in Nigeria.
Federal anti-corruption agency
Stakeholders committed to the fight against corruption in Nigeria
have commenced the harmonization of the National Anti-Corruption
Strategy Documents as part of measures to strengthen the Buhari
administration’s anti-graft war.
The harmonization process is coordinated by the Ministry of Justice
in conjunction with the Presidential Advisory Committee Against
Corruption (PACAC) with other stakeholders drawn from Civil Society
Organisations, professional bodies as well as representatives of key
government agencies.
In his remark at the stakeholders consultative forum in Abuja on
Tuesday, the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent
Secretary, Ministry of Justice, Mr Taiwo Abidogun said, the event was
aimed at harmonization of all working documents on anti-corruption into a
single National Anti-Corruption Strategy.
He said adopting a single strategy document was in line with the
agenda of the present administration on corruption and related matters.
According to him, “one of the cardinal objectives of the
current President Muhammadu Buhari administration to fight corruption in
all its ramified manifestations including adopting effective preventive
measures against corruption, recovery of stolen assets and putting in
place systems and processes to profitably manage the stolen and
recovered assets.’’
Abidogun said President Buhari had demonstrated an unwavering commitment to curb the menace of corruption in the country.
He said: “the current administration has made the fight against corruption and the restoration of integrity in governance a priority.
“This is made manifest in the President’s commitment at the May
2016 Anti-Corruption Conference; the setting up the Presidential
Advisory Committee against Corruption; establishment of the National
Prosecution Coordination Committee (NPCC).
“Others include the re-submission of two key anti-corruption
bills: the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Bill and the
Money Laundering (Prohibition and Prevention) Bill to the National
Assembly for expedited consideration; the ongoing review of both the
Nigeria Financial Intelligence Agency Establishment Bill, and the
Proceeds of Crime Bill; the commitment to prosecute corrupt public
officials; the recovery of looted public funds; and the development of
various justice sector reform initiatives.’’
In his remarks, the Executive Secretary of the Presidential
Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, said
harmonizing the three strategy documents namely; the Nigeria
Anti-Corruption Strategy, the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan and
the National Strategy to Combat Corruption, would greatly facilitate the
nation’s anti-graft war.
He said concentrating the various efforts and strategies would
enhance the way the present administration approached issues relating to
corruption.
Owasanoye said focus of stakeholders, going forward, would be on
exploring areas in the harmonized strategy document to prosecute the
anti-graft war as well as assess the performance of the various agencies
of government involved the campaign.
He expressed hope that the new harmonized strategy document would inject renewed vigor in the nation’s fight against corruption.
The harmonized National Anti-Corruption Strategy Document is
expected to be ratified by stakeholders before presented to the Federal
Government for adoption.
