Minna, Nov. 17, 2016 (NAN) Dr Bashir Yankuzo of the Department of Educational Technology Federal University of Technology, Minna, on Thursday called for the setting up of an anti-corruption brigade in the country.
Yankuzo told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Minna that the Federal Government should set up the brigade from the universities to fight corruption to standstill in the country.
He said that there were several committed intellectuals in various universities who were ready to make sacrifices in the fight against corruption in the country.
Yankuzo said that members of such anti-corruption brigade would be in the vanguard of Buhari’s anti-corruption crusade.
He also called for more collaboration between the Federal Government and judiciary in the ongoing fight against corruption in the country.
“We will reach the promised land if the two arms of government come out with holistic working understanding,” he said.
Yankuzo said that corruption had eaten deep into the fabrics of the Nigerian system and was largely responsible for the current economic challenges facing the nation.
He called for proper prosecution of all those found embezzling public funds to serve as a deterrent.
“Nigeria will be a better place for all of us if we fight the menace of corruption in our midst to a standstill,” he said. (NAN)
