Embrace Anti-Corruption Crusade, Don Tasks States

A university teacher in the Department of Theatre Arts and Film Production, University of Port Harcourt, Prof Henry BellGam, has called on the 36 State governments and the Federal Capital Territory Administration to participate actively in the fight against corruption which he said has ruined Nigeria’s image before the international community.
Speaking with The Tide in Port Harcourt recently, Bellgam maintained that the issue of corruption in Nigeria remains a collective responsibility which all strata of the economy are expected to be part of for achievable success in 2020 and beyond.
He urged stakeholders to make justice affordable for corruption for the common masses of this country, stressing that the only recipe for development in Nigeria, is when genuine fight against corruption is put in place by the government.
According to him, the commission which is responsible to handle all corrupt cases by the Federal Government should work hard to achieve tremendous goal, including the construction of new offices in all states of the federation, recruitment of staff, training and retraining of workforce, in addition to treating over five thousand different cases of corrupt practice in Nigeria.
He therefore, admonished President Muhammadu Buhari, the 36 state governments and agencies charged with the responsibility of fighting corruption to expose those corrupt elites and leaders who are yet to be exposed for one reason or the other.
Bellgam, a professor of Theatre Arts and Film Production of the university, urged Nigerian leaders to positively swing into action by way of developing some ailing infrastructure in rural communities in the country, especially in 2020 and beyond.
