Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on
Wednesday departed the country to
attend the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development, OECD’s
Anti-Corruption and Integrity Forum
holding in Paris tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. Concerned that “corruption and abuse
of public office are a blight on
democracies and a drain on public
finances and with trust in government
flagging,” the OECD forum brings
together global leaders, Government ministers, business leaders and civil
society representatives to discuss
issues “including the cost to society of
corruption, the use of political
donations to buy influence,
developments in corporate liability for graft, and the role of export controls
to counter bribery.” A statement by Laolu Akande said the
Vice President who is one of the
featured speakers at the global
conference left Abuja today, after
participating in the Federal Executive
Council meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the
Presidential Villa.
During the conference, Prof. Osinbajo
would hold bilateral talks with the
Secretary-General of the organization
Angel Gurria to review and explore
relationship between Nigeria and the
body including how to further strengthen mutual cooperation in the
areas such as good governance,
integrity and anti-corruption efforts. Founded in 1961, OECD’s mission
includes the attainment of global
economic development through
supporting sustainable economic
growth, boosting employment, raising
living standards, contributing to the growth of world trade and
maintaining financial stability among
other objectives. While in Paris, the Vice President will
also hold a number of meetings with
the French Minister Mr. Bernard
Cazeneuve, the statement said. He is
expected back in Abuja by weekend.
