Transparency International Defends Nigeria
By Correspondent
International anti-corruption group, Transparency International, on Tuesday, rose strongly in defence of Nigeria as a country that is making strong efforts in the fight against corruption.The organisation also suggested that a statement by the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, was hypocritical.Cobus de Swardt, T.I.’s Managing Director, in his response to Mr Cameron’s video, in which the British leader described Nigeria and Afghanistan as ”˜fantastically corrupt’, said the UK was actually the country that is a big part of the world’s corruption problem.“There is no doubt that historically, Nigeria and Afghanistan have had very high levels of corruption, and that continues to this day.“But the leaders of those countries have sent strong signals that they want things to change, and the London Anti-Corruption Summit creates an opportunity for all the countries present to sign up to a new era.“This affects the UK as much as other countries; we should not forget that by providing a safe haven for corrupt assets, the UK and its overseas territories and crown dependencies are a big part of the world’s corruption problem,” Mr de Swardt said.Discover more from NewsBreakers
