FG Speaks On Biggest Threat To Security In Nigeria
Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the Minister of Interior has claimed that corruption and corrupt behaviour contribute to the nation’s insecurity and urged everyone to pitch in to combat the threat.
The Minister made this remark on Tuesday while speaking during a courtesy visit to Dr Musa Aliyu, SAN, the Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) in Abuja.
According to Tunji-Ojo, the goal of his visit was to establish a cooperative relationship between the ICPC and his ministry.
“We know the Ministry of Interior is responsible for the enhancement of internal security and, of course, corruption is one of the biggest threats to security in Nigeria.
“So, we don’t need to move too far before we get to the point of intersection, where our interests remain.
“We believe that in leveraging and collaborating with ICPC, we might just be saving our country from a lot of effort that is needed in righting the wrongs.
“We believe that all over the world the language is pro-activeness, the language is prevention, the language is no more detection or correction,” he said.
