The Emir of Kano, Alhaji
Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said that the war against corruption launched by the
President Muhammadu Buhari administration can be won in six months if there are
appropriate sanctions for offenders as well as monitoring of corrupt cases by
the media.
The former Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) stated this, while speaking on Wednesday through
the Sarkin Shanun Kano, Alhaji Shehu Mohammed, at “International Conference on
Tax Havens and the Developing World: The Global Dimension”, organised by the
Centre for General Studies in collaboration with office of International
Programmes, University of Ibadan (UI).
Sanusi identified lack of
discipline, lack of sanctions, lack of monitoring and evaluation of corrupt
cases, as the four major problems aiding high-level corruption in Nigeria and
other developing countries.
The Emir also regretted that most
companies and individuals who are supposed to pay taxes in African and Asian
countries, use tax heavens to avoid payments.
He noted that corruption was
encouraging tax havens to thrive.
If you are not put into prison then Buhari have not started the fight against corruption
