The Chairman of the Ogun State House of Assembly Service Commission, Rt. Hon. Suraju Adekunbi, has said corruption is not peculiar to Nigeria but a human temptation that requires strong institutional code that will guide against it in both government establishment and in the private sector
Adekunbi, made the submission while delivering a paper titled "Preventing Fraud and Corrupt Practices within Government Agencies and Private Sector" at an event organised by the Fight Against Corruption Organisation, FACO, in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
He stated that government must prioritise building resilient systems that could not be compromised and also entrench ethical leadership, noting that it would be the foundation for eradicating corruption at all levels and fostering a healthy society.
He further made it known that Ogun State is unique, hence, it should be positioned to be the first State in Nigeria with zero tolerance for corruption.
He recommended implementing full digitisation, radical transparency, job rotation, regular auditing and strong whistle-blower protection system as key measures to curb corruption, stressing that civic values should be embedded in the school curriculum at every level of education.
