An 80-year-old lawyer and
businessman, Shehu Othman Malami, has lamented the level of corruption in the
country.
He said Nigeria’s greatest
problem is that leaders will not stop embezzling public money.
Malami commended what the present
administration is doing to recover stolen funds and called for judicious use of
the money for benefit of Nigerians.
He said, “My worry is the level
corruption has reached in the country.
“It is alarming and disturbing.
Unfortunately , it is now the norm in Nigeria for people in authority to
embezzle our collective money.
“Today, what they recover as
stolen funds and properties are frightening, whereas, descript is the state of
infrastructure nationwide.
“I commend what the present
administration is doing to recover stolen money and I wish that recovered money
would be committed to judicious use, for the benefit of coming generations.
“For agitators, especially the
youth, who probably have never experienced war but are now fanning its embers
and singing war song, I hope they will reason and see the unity in our
diversity as a nation because war is not what anybody should toy with.”
