No Going Back On Fight Against Corruption-FG

The Federal Government has renewed its commitment towards the fight against corruption, Prof. saying there is no going back on the war against corruption in the country.
The Executive Secretary, Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption, Sadiq Isah-Radda, said this at a One-Day Forum on Anti-corruption held in Kano yesterday.
“As far as the Federal Government is concerned, there is no going back on the fight against corruption,’’ he declared.
The presidential aide said even though the government was facing some challenges, that would not discourage it from tackling the menace.
“Even though there are challenges or problems, we will continue with the fight because nobody will come from heaven to do it for us.
“The most disturbing issue is ‘illicit financial flows’ where billions and billions are being taken out of the country by crooks.
“Corruption has been as old as the country so much so that it is becoming a way of life. Before now those who refused to loot were seen as fools.
“When things became worst, the fight against corruption became a campaign issue in 2015,’’ Isah-Radda said.
He, therefore, called on Nigerians, irrespective of their political and religious inclinations, to support President Muhammadu Buhari to enable him eliminate corruption in the country for the betterment of the country.
Isah-Radda said Nigerians had a duty to contribute their quota toward the development of the country, adding that the federal government cannot do it alone.
