He made this call in Abuja on Thursday, July 11, 2024 while addressing stakeholders in the anti-graft war who converged at the Unity Fountain to commemorate the 2024 African Anti-Corruption Day. According to him, the fight against corruption has become more compelling owing to its increasing threat to individual, corporate and national quest for growth and development. He charged Nigerians to be more prepared to explore the whistle blowing initiative as a demonstration of their sincerity and seriousness to break the fangs of corruption.
“Aside terrorism, corruption ranks as the next deadliest affliction of humanity in every region of the world. In view of the danger and threat to our existence which corruption represents, it is imperative that individuals, communities, corporate bodies and indeed the whole world join hands together to tackle it frontally. One way of doing this is through the whistle-blowing initiative”, he said.
