Acting-President, Yemi Osinbajo has said that he will defeat corruption in Nigeria by replicating the model he used to drive down corruption in Lagos State Judiciary to zero percent.

He said he also had the system reformed during his tenure as Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Lagos.

He disclosed this during a talk-shop organized in Abuja by Office of the Vice-President in contribution to the national dialogue on corruption.


Osinbajo recalled that corruption in the Lagos State Judiciary dropped to zero percent following the sack of 22 corrupt magistrates and three judges, and by drastic improvement in welfare.

According to him, prior to the reforms, he once met an honest judge who retired after 10 years on the Bench but lived in someone’s boys quarters because he had no house.


He said a judge’s salary of N67,000 then could not build a house. To reverse the trend, every judge was given a house for life, while their remuneration was increased “considerably”, to the extent that Lagos became a reference point.

“It was because a system was in place and impunity was not allowed. It is important that we put in place models that will work,” he said.
