Nigeria needs strong institutions and systems to effectively fight corruption and illicit financial flows (IFFs), Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC), Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, has canvassed.
He made the call while delivering a lecture at the Executive Intelligence Management Course 14 of the National Institute for Security Studies in Bwari, Abuja.
In his paper titled, “Governance, Corruption, Rule of Law and Security in Africa”, Owasanoye stated that the solution to corruption, economic, security and other problems bedeviling Nigeria lies with building strong institutions and systems with active collaboration from state and non-state actors.
Also, he appealed to Sub-Saharan African nations to address illicit financial flows and prioritise asset recovery with a view to minimising graft in the region.

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has said that the Igbo are asking for equity, justice and level-playing ground because of their stake in Nigeria, and not secession.
Addressing members of Syndicate 1 of the Executive Intelligence Management Course (EIMC) 14 of the National Institute for Security Studies (NISS), who visited Government House, Owerri, yesterday, he noted that the ethnic group was not in support of any form of break-up.
The governor asserted that the recent security breaches in the South East geo-political zone did not connote that Ndigbo were tired of being part of Nigeria. x
His words: “All we want is justice, equity and fairness in a big Nigerian family. Secession is not on the table. Anyone championing that does not represent Ndigbo. We have a greater stake in a united Nigeria and will not be party to any scheme that will bring division among us. All we want is equity, justice an
