Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) has declared north east geo-political zone  as the zone with the highest rate of corruption complaints  on its desk.

Head of North-east zonal operation,  Mr.  Segun Sogunle, made the disclosure while addressing newsmen in Bauchi on campaign awareness rally sponsored by the United Nation Population Fund (UNPF) through the Anti Corruption Association of Nigeria,  Bauchi state chapter.

Sogunle explained that in the North-east geo-political zone,  Bauchi had the highest number of corruption  cases, adding that   those involved  included serving commissioners and former commissioners of both the previous administration and the government of the day.

He said, the aim of the rally was to educate and sensitize people on the menace of corruption in Nigeria, noting that corruption is worse  than armed robbery

According him, when the people are aware of the evil practices of corruption and the danger it is causing to Nigeria and the role each person would play towards eradicating corruption , then the menace would reduce drastically.

The president, Anti Corruption Association of Nigeria, Alhaji Saleh Garba, stated that war against corruption is a collective responsibility for all responsible Nigerian,  saying the task is not for the government alone to accomplish.

He said, the objective behind the rally was to empower the people to realise their potentials that at their level they can fight  corruption in Nigeria.

According to him, the association is funded by  the UNPF  in Nigeria, adding  that sensitization workshop for various categories  of political office holders and public servants has been scheduled with the sole aim of wiping corruption out in Nigeria

EFCC should stop producing results for different zones. It doesn't help National Unity at all.

@DEEPZONE So deep is your thirst for hatred against the North that you did not see the balded area above. The article did not in any way rate the north east as the most corrupt zone but made specific insight as the zone with the highest complaints on his desk. This goes to show the level at which the masses are fighting corruption by reporting such incidence.

Cuba has the highest literacy level in world but that does not make them the most advance country. America & Israel military & security spending is second to none but when it come to lowest level of crime the Scandinavia countries have one of the lowest crime rate in the world.

Ministers were sacked for bribery and other shady deals. Governors were impeached for self-enrichment and misappropriation of state funds. These ministers and governors cut across all zones with a large percentage from the south.
