Create Corruption Loopholes, Go To Jail – Osinbajo by skak(m): 9:47pm On Jun 27, 2015
Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, said it is
not going to be business as usual in
running the affairs of the country. He
stated that anyone caught creating
loopholes in order to siphon public funds
would face the consequences.

Osinbajo who made this known while
speaking at the 3rd Annual Christopher
Kolade’s lecture on business integrity in
Lagos, pointed out that weak public and
private institutions, corrupt practices
coupled with ineffective public policies
had remained the bane of economic
stability in the country.

The Vice President whose address dwelt
on “Beyond Compliance: Imbibing a
Culture of Business Integrity,” said
integrity should be an acceptable
standard and aspiration of every
business leader.

Osinbajo said, “The most important thing
is to do things right. It is important that
we comply with the rule of law. There is
need to ensure that people’s rights are
not trampled on. And there is need to
ensure that people face the consequences
for wrongful actions. That balance is
necessary.

“The administration will ensure that
loopholes compliance are plugged and
those responsible for creating loopholes
will face the consequence.”

“The greater good of the company also
means the greater good of many people,
their lives and families. The question is,
how do we respond to the ethical
dynamics of poverty and corruption
when it concerns our friends, ethnic or
religious groups?”

Painting a gloomy picture on the poser
raised by the vice president, the Former
Nigerian High Commissioner to the United
Kingdom, Dr. Christopher Kolade,
lamented that many Nigerians no longer
stand on the side of what is right.

Kolade averred that the country was a
difficult place to practise integrity
because corruption was perceived as the
right way of life.

“We use corruption in our conversations
than we talk about integrity. Integrity
should feature more in our
conversations. Integrity is meant to be
natural to human beings,” Kolade said.

While I wish them well, it worthy to say that they were not voted in to fight corruption alone to the detriment of other facets of governance.

After all, their victory was also a product of corruption.
