Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, president of the Nigerian
senate, has identified corruption as the reason why some state governors
cannot pay the salaries of workers.
At least 18 state governments are owing their workers’
salaries, and Saraki said the vice was affecting the progress of the
country, noting that the 8th assembly has made the fight against
corruption a priority.
He was speaking on Monday when Ekpo Nta, chairman of the
Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission
(ICPC), paid him a courtesy visit.
“The cost of corruption on our national life is beyond
financial cost. You see in some states now that they are not paying
salaries,” he said.
“It has also led to poor funding of the education and
health sectors and it’s affecting cost of governance and failure of
public institutions and infrastructure.
“The 8th senate has a position on zero tolerance for
corruption. Making the fight against corruption a priority is a must and
we are committed to that. Our goal is to work with you to reduce
significantly, the level of corruption in this country.”
On his part, Ekpo pledged that ICPC would do its best to check graft in the country.
