During the 2024 International Anti-Corruption Day commemoration in Abuja on Tuesday, the Country Representative of UNODC, Mr. Cheikh Toure, pointed out that more citizens are rejecting the practice and demanding accountability.
He cited a recent national corruption survey indicating encouraging signs of progress. According to Toure, 70 percent of Nigerians, including youth, have refused to pay bribes on at least one occasion.
There is also a nearly threefold increase in formal procedures against corrupt public officials, rising from 16 percent to 45 percent between 2019 and 2023.
“This statistic is not just a number; it represents a growing culture of integrity and resistance against corruption.
“Moreover, 42 percent of respondents refused to pay bribes simply because it was the right thing to do.
“This moral stance is the foundation upon which we must build our anti-corruption efforts,” he added.
Toure emphasized that more work needs to be done to foster integrity, transparency, and accountability in the public sector.
He noted that, as part of the solution to curbing corruption, the empowerment of youth is integral. He added that failure to resolve the promotion of corruption will diminish resources for education, healthcare, social development, and climate action, stifle creativity, limit job prospects, and even affect the fairness of sports and public life.ABOMINABLE ACT| PLEASE HELP ME I AM CONFUSED: My daughter is sweeter than her mother on bed.
