The former head of Nigeria’s Budget Monitoring
and Due Process office, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, says the charges of corruption
levelled against Nigeria by economy monitoring organisations, both nationally
and internationally, are true and should not be treated with levity.
At a forum
on leadership organised by the Day Star Christian Centre in Lagos on Wednesday,
she stated that the claims were pointers to the fact that no reasonable
progress had been made in the fight against corruption. Mrs Ezekwesili
hinted that Nigeria, after 53 years of independence, had no governance but
merely ‘massive transaction of operations’.
“There is
no good governance in Nigeria. Good governance is about governance that gives
the highest possible results and it is on the basis that most of the time the
best choices of policies are being made and that results are being clearly
achieved. “If you
look at the misalignment of our resources and the results, it will tell you
that we have less than the kind of effective governance that we should have,”
she explained. Government should tackle corruption as it should to
ensure that obstacles hindering Nigerians from becoming great are removed,” Dr.
Ezekwesili advised.

Great advice madam, but this was once your government. The legacy you left behind, still rubs-off on the present leaders. Don't you think?
