…says name does not reflect war against corruption
Former Governor of Edo State Governor, Senator Oseirheimhen Osunbor has advised the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency change Independent Corrupt Practice Commission, ICPC’s name as it does not reflect war against anti-corruption crusade.
Osunbor who spoke at the 40th anniversary of Nigeria Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, NIALS said that to truly combat anti-graft war a name should reflect what it connotes.
The former governor who was a guest lecturer at the institute’s annual lecture series spoke on the topic: ‘Nigeria In Quest of Good Governance, Law And Beyond Law’.
The Professor of law did not spare the the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC describing the anti-graft Commission of being accused of selective prosecution.
He also took a swipe at the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB and other agencies adding there’s urgent need to strengthen the instructions to enable them perform maximally.
Osunbor traced Nigeria’s quest for good governance from 1960 till date with vivid examples and the way out the woods.
