Help Sanitise Nigeria From Corruption – NGO Tasks Citizens

UYO – Accountability Lab Nigeria (ALN), a non-governmental organization (NGO), has charged citizens of Nigeria to help sanitise the country from corruption currently undermining its development.

Programme Manager of ALN, Mrs Ehi Idaku, handed down the charge while briefing newsmen shortly after a workshop on Integrity and Accountability in Leadership in Uyo on Tuesday.

Idaho said citizens, particularly civil servants must live above  the temptation of being used as instrument to execute corrupt practices.

She said the organization, partnering with Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offense Commission (ICPC) and Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has in the last five years tried to wage war against corruption in Nigeria

Idaku noted that if crime continues to thrive in the country, the nation may collapse beyond imagination, stressing that all citizens must accept the blame of being corrupt so that everybody could  unanimously tame it.

She noted that the organization was out to create current and future leaders with high level of integrity and sincerity of purpose.

According to her, for public servants to improve accountability processes in the Niger Delta region they must be committed and transparent in information availability.

“Be transparent in information availability, be committed in whatever you are doing, sincerity, strong accountability in policy making, result oriented, responsiveness, strong accountability in policy making, rendering selfless services.
