Minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed has stated that the reforms of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has made a “huge” impact in preventing corruption.<\/p>\n

This was stated on Thursday by Mohammed at a press conference in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The minister compared the fight against corruption to a marathon, saying since gaining power in 2015, the present administration has enacted various anti-corruption<\/a> policies and measures that are delivering results.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you are aware, one of the three major policy planks of this administration is the fight against corruption, with the others, of course, being to tackle insecurity and also to revamp the economy. We will be having a series of thematic press conferences on these issues in the days ahead, with this one \u2014\u00a0on the fight against corruption \u2014 being the first one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is common knowledge that one of the most difficult tasks for any government is to fight corruption because when you fight corruption, corruption will fight you back. This explains why naysayers have continued to belittle or dismiss the administration\u2019s anti-corruption efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me say here that fighting corruption is a marathon, and never a sprint. Also, investigations, arrests, prosecutions and asset forfeiture \u2014 which are the immediate, visible indices by which many measure success in tackling corruption, constitute as important as they are, just a part of the strategies to combat corruption. There is also a more fundamental strategy, which I will describe as structural and governance reforms or if you like, institutional reforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cGentlemen, the Buhari administration has taken bold measures to streamline cumbersome bureaucratic processes in the implementation of government policies, check corrupt practices and ensure accountability in the implementation as well as delivery of these policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese reforms are all-inclusive, cutting across all spheres of governance and not excluding even the private sector. They are the treasury single account (TSA), Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), financial autonomy for state legislature and judiciary (2020), whistle-blower policy, assets recovery, justice and law reforms, Nigeria\u2019s membership of the open government partnership as well as the various instruments at the disposal of the federal government to track, trace and stop the flow of illicit funds used in financing terrorist activities within Nigeria, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those who may say that some of these reforms, like the TSA, predate this administration, our response is that what\u2019s the use of a policy that is not implemented? This administration has implemented these reforms with fidelity, and the reforms have made a huge impact in preventing corruption.<\/p>\n

Mohammed added that the anti-graft policies of the government have not only stifled corrupt tendencies but have also made \u201ccorruption unattractive and costly to those who may want to engage in it\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
