The Secretary to the Government
of the Federation, SGF, Boss Mustapha, has said transparency international
cannot tell Nigeria’s corruption story better than its citizens.
He said this while lamenting
Nigeria’s low ranking on the corruption index recently released by Transparency
International.
Speaking on Monday at the opening
ceremony of Nigeria’s Open Government (OGP) week in Abuja, Mustapha said:
“Several statistics have been bandied by third parties about the rate of
corruption in Nigeria. But what they do not understand is the context and
contours of corruption in Nigeria. That is why they end up creating a wrong perception
about our nation.
“On our part, we would evolve an
efficient and reliable mechanism for self-evalution because they cannot tell
our corruption story better than us.
“In two weeks, the office of the SGF will
launch its upgraded website with a window for citizens’ participation and links
to the websites of all Ministries, Departments and Agencies. Therefore,
political office holders and public servants should desist from looting public
treasury as they are going to be watched.”
What a fool that's talking! Have you ever been honest about the stories you tell Nigerians? Snakes swallowing millions of Naira; apes carting bags of money away, and many more! Boss Mustapha, you should be ashamed of yourself.
