The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu, said on Thursday Nigeria must maintain the current tempo of anti-corruption campaign in order to end corruption in the country.
He stated this at an anti-corruption conference organized by the National Orientation Agency (NOA), EFCC, National Human Rights Commission and HERDA Resource Centre in Abuja.
The theme of the conference was – “Corruption and Human Rights in Nigeria: Realizing Fundamental Human Rights through Multi-stakeholders’ Fights Against Corruption.”
Magu, who urged Nigerians not to be discouraged that corruption was being celebrated by the society, said the fight should be sustained.
According to him, Nigeria has the right political goodwill which is important to fighting corruption.
He said: “We should have the will to win and I am telling you if we maintain the tempo we will win.
“We should not be discouraged that corruption is being celebrated. I think we should maintain it. It should not be discouraged. This is the only country where they said stealing, bribery and others should not be punished.
“We have passed the level of trying to see the cause of corruption. We should find a solution to corruption. We must fight corruption. We should insist on fighting corruption.”
