Minister of Interior, Rauf
Aregbesola, has warned staff of the ministry to shun all forms of corrupt
practices in the conduct of government business.
The minister gave the advice in a
statement issued by Mr Mohammed Manga, Director Press and Public Relations of
the ministry in Abuja on Thursday.
Manga quoted Aregbesola as saying
that the fight against insecurity and corruption was a collective
responsibility of all Nigerians.
The minister called on staff of
the ministry to shun all forms of corruption and support President Muhammadu
Buhari’s Administration in the determination to improve security, revitalise
the economy and entrench transparency in governance.
Aregbesola said that if all
transactions were opened and uncovered, corruption would be kept at bay and
“our society will be secured, which will also lead to civilisation’’.
“As members of staff of this
ministry, our responsibility to this nation is huge.
“We are to supervise the general
implementation of policies and projects, geared toward the maintenance of
safety and security of Nigerians,’’ the minister said.
He called on staff of the
ministry to contribute their quota toward achieving the programmes and policies
of government.
Aregbesola said, especially in
relation to the mandate of the ministry which is provision of internal security
and citizenship integrity through discipline and high dedication to service.
He urged the staff to guide
against stagnation and improve on their contributions toward ensuring a safe
society to bring about socio-economic development.
“If you are not improving
yourself, you are stagnated and you’ll begin to degenerate. We can’t afford to
stagnate; we must keep improving so as to keep Nigeria safe and secured,’’ he
said.
The minister assured the staff of
prioritising their welfare issues.
