We need to consult oracle for anti-corruption in Nigeria – Reps member says

A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yunusa Ahmad has said that there is a need to consult the oracle to tackle corruption in Nigeria.

Ahmad said this on Thursday, August 18, in Abuja while fielding questions from journalists at the African conference on Debt and Development (AfCoDD II 2022) organised by Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ).

The lawmaker insisted that the country had adequate laws to tackle corruption, but lamented that the act of stealing had been so perfected that it was so difficult to trace anything through paper.

Ahmad added that the National Assembly had been playing its role to fight corruption through oversight and was passing relevant laws that were in tandem with the reality.

He said: “We played our roles. First, we assumed there were allegations of corruption. First, we check, is it the law that did not plug the loopholes? We look at the law, study them and then evolve laws that will be in tandem with the reality or modernity.”
