While addressing the 54th Annual Conference of the Nigerian Economic
Summit that held in Abuja yesterday, president Goodluck Jonathan blamed the
level of corruption in Nigeria on the society. He said instead of punishing
corrupt people, we reward them.
“When you talk about corruption,
the private sector is involved; the public sector is involved; even the
individuals, including other societies, and I wouldn’t want to mention names so
that I will not be attacked. But I know that if collectively all of us don’t
reward corruption, people would not be attracted to corrupt practices, but when
we all reward corruption, then of course, we will be tempted to go in that
direction.
“I want a society where all of us
will frown against people who come up with what they are not supposed to have.
If a young man who just started a job and within six months or a year comes up
with a car of N7m to N15m and you clap for him, then you are rewarding corruption."
the president said. More when you continue...
