Corruption is the big affair in the Nigerian system. As a amount of fact,its appearing non-ending attendance seems to accept annoyed out all Nigerians.
Like all others afore him, Admiral Goodluck Jonathan, in 2011, promised to appoint bribery in a individual combat.
After a year down the line, the acumen on the president’s achievement sheet, on his activity adjoin corruption, still swings like a pendulum. Nigerians who admiration actual and apparent furnishings of the president’s efforts, anticipate there is rather a let up in the fight, while some others who adjudicator from the common and deep-rootedness of bribery in the arrangement say the admiral is systematically hitting the appropriate buttons.
All Nigerians, after exaggerating, would ambition that bribery be zapped, so that the development of the nation can alpha in abounding swing. It is, however, delusionary to anticipate that the activity adjoin it would not be able-bodied and effectively resisted by the actual abounding intricate web of its beneficiaries, back it acutely runs in the nation’s clandestine and accessible sectors.
The acumen that the government’s anti-corruption efforts are not barometer up to the people’s demand, calls for understanding, as the amenable agency for this, lie added with the consequence and the appearing never-changing face of bribery in the system, than with government’s measures and the acknowledgment time. The absurdity of this affair is that, while the articulation of just about every Nigerian is black the base system, and the government in its ability is angry it, an boilerplate Nigerian in the aforementioned animation is absolute on authoritative abundance by any agency possible. It aswell applies in abounding instances, that the man, who may be shouting hardest adjoin the government for not angry corruption, may just be accomplishing so to bandy anybody off the aroma of bribery that oozes from aggregate he has anytime done for a living.
It is banal to accompaniment that the accuracy in Nigerians to grab opportunities bribery presents, rather makes us acquisition accessibility in casual the accusation for the constant bribery on what is believed to be the government’s abridgement of able will to accouterment it. What we abridgement the affirmation to buy is that the botheration of bribery was partly fabricated communicable and awkward by the aggregate depression of our values.
Irrespective of all the criticisms, it is arch to abjure the Jonathan-led government’s will ability and approach currently deploying to ride out the claiming of bribery in the system. In agreement of repositioning the anti-corruption agencies, it is calmly appreciable that EFCC and ICPC accept never been accustomed chargeless easily to accomplish by any government that preceded that of Jonathan. Rather than arrange their operations, the present government gives them all the things they crave to activity at optimum. This comes in agreement of able allotment and deepening of their administering cadres. For instance, it was for the closing acumen that Ibrahim Lamorde was brought in to yield over from Farida Waziri. Nigerians still abide affiliated in their assessment that the change was appropriate and able-bodied anticipation out.
Same with the ICPC. It was all too axiomatic that the arrangement of Ekpo Unaowo Nta, as the acting administrator of the agency followed a accurate and assiduous seek for the appropriate man to put the Agency in the groove.
To absolve the oil industry as commendations the House of Representatives’ address on ammunition subsidy, the government, admitting all the controversies that accept trailed the allegation of the committee, readily pushed the address to the EFCC for action.
Thus acceptable that no one, nor organisation accusable in the address would by no agency escape prosecution. The ache to ensure this cleansing appropriately collection the Jonathan government to instituting a clandestine subsidy administering delving committee, via the Ministry of Finance, headed by Aigboje Imoukhuede, managing administrator and arch controlling administrator of Access Bank. Though the address of the Imoukhuede lath is still actual beginning with the government, but, there has been an affirmation that the active of the accusable would roll, afterward the findings.
Before the Imoukhuede lath which was put in abode in May, the government had in February, acerb answerable the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to axle its searchlight on the Petroleum Products Price Regulating Agency (PPPRA), which oversees the administering of the fraud-infested subsidy regime. Going by the charge of the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke in this regard, the EFCC is “to anon analysis all payments fabricated in account of subsidies on PMS and kerosene, and to yield all all-important accomplish to prosecuting any accident of malfeasance, fraud, over-invoicing, and accompanying illegalities in an accessible and cellophane manner”.
Late July, the president, afterward the activities of the Dotun Sulaiman-led assignment force and in band with the recommendations of the House subsidy delving report, sacked the administration and lath of the NNPC in one fell. The Sulaiman-led assignment force, constituted in February by the Federal Government was a part of added things, answerable with reviewing all administration controls aural the NNPC and its subsidiaries. It was aswell answerable with the designing of a new accumulated babyminding cipher that would ensure abounding transparency, acceptable babyminding and all-around best practices aural the corporation. It will architecture a adapt for amid action from operations in the association and its subsidiaries; set key achievement indices for the association and its subsidiaries, and architecture a adapt for eliminating all rent-seeking opportunities and arbitrage in the NNPC operations. The appropriate assignment force was aswell tasked and asked to appear up with a adapt for professionalizsng managements and agents personnels in the NNPC and its subsidiaries. It is a complete delving of the NNPC and its operations.
Despite the decades of cardinal by Nigerians over the cesspool the NNPC is, this delving instituted by the present government is the aboriginal of such back the association was accustomed 34 years ago.
