The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF,
Boss Mustapha, has said transparency international cannot
tell Nigeria’s corruption story better than its citizens.
He said this while lamenting Nigeria’s low ranking on the
corruption index recently released by Transparency
International.
Speaking on Monday at the opening ceremony of Nigeria’s
Open Government (OGP) week in Abuja, Mustapha said:
“Several statistics have been bandied by third parties about
the rate of corruption in Nigeria. But what they do not
understand is the context and contours of corruption in
Nigeria. That is why they end up creating a wrong perception
about our nation.
“On our part, we would evolve an efficient and reliable
mechanism for self-evalution because they cannot tell our
corruption story better than us.
“In two weeks, the office of the SGF will launch its upgraded
website with a window for citizens’ participation and links to
the websites of all Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
Therefore, political office holders and public servants should
desist from looting public treasury as they are going to be
watched.”
