The Minister of Youths and
Sports, Solomon Dalong, on
Tuesday blamed Nigerian youth
for aiding and abetting
corruption.
Mr. Dalong said the youth submit
themselves to people with
questionable wealth, most
especially those in government.
He charged the youths to play key
roles in the fight against
corruption rather than submitting
themselves to people with
questionable characters.
Speaking at the opening session of
a two-day National Conference on
Youths Against Corruption
organised by the Independent
Corrupt Practices and other
Related Offences Commission,
ICPC, the minister urged them to
declare war against corruption in
all ramifications.
He condemned what he observed
as the inordinate crave for wealth
by the Nigerian youth, expressing
regrets that some of the youths
now prefer to live large by
owning expensive cars, with love
to display affluence even as
student leaders.
Mr. Dalong asked the youth to
emulate past leaders, who he said
operated as the conscience of the
society by speaking against bad
policies of successive
governments.
He recalled his days in the
leadership of the National
Association of Nigerian Students,
NANS, when students rejected a
parcel of land in a choice area of
Abuja to prove they could not be
corrupted.
Also speaking, the Comptroller
General of the Nigeria Customs
Service, Hameed Ali, told students
to take possession of the fight
against corruption as they had
always been the victim of the
vices of corruption at all times.
He said the role of the youth in
the fight against corruption must
be paramount, reminding them to
always constitute themselves into
a vanguard of change for a better
Nigeria.
“The fight against corruption
cannot be won until we adopt a
different social, political,
economic and religious path to
living a life free of corruption.
“The failures of the older
generation to instill the right morals and
ethics must give way to a new perspective on
doing things.
“Corruption must be regarded for the evil that
it is and the short term benefits it provides,
rejected as toxic to the stability of Nigeria,” he
said.
The chairman of ICPC, Ekpo Nta, expressed
happiness that the Nigerian youth were now
being integrated into the fight against
corruption.
He charged them to explore the collaboration
of ICPC with them to define the role they want
to play in the fight against corruption.
Mr. Nta said ICPC was pleased to have the
youth team up with against corruption,
recalling that the decision to hold the
conference emanated from the youth in the
first instance.
The National President of the NANS, Tijani
Shehu, suggested that the conference be
replicated at the zonal level to enhance a
wider participation by youth across the
country.

Are you one?

Nigerian youths are hardworking,diligent and patient. If Nigerian youths were going to fight corrupt leaders the way some subscribe,this country will boil. I have seen Nigerian youths lead hot but peaceful change in government,and mind you Mr. Minister,we are more prepared to lead another more powerful change in government if your regime does not deliver. We know who we are and where we are going..
