A professor of political economics, Pat Utomi, has noted that corruption is worse in this present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari than ten years ago.

According to him, the change promised by President Buhari-led government was not working.

Utomi was quoted by the Nation as saying that “Sadly, even though our mantra ‘is if Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria,’ I believe by my experience as a businessman that there is worst corruption today in the country than there was 10 years ago.

“So the corruption in the environment also adds to the challenge of investing.

“So there is a need for serious conversation about whether we want the Nigerian economy to grow and what it will take to grow it so that there will be consensus and people will therefore act properly relating to that consensus agreed to.

“If that is to happen, we need to have a national strategy. Whenever I talk about this, people will object to it, talking about this medium term economic recovery plan, but that is not a national strategy; it is a short to medium term recovery programme.

“The national strategy should be what Nigeria wants to lead the world in by 30 years to come. What it means therefore is to take some value chains, most likely looking into the agriculture endowment of the country.

“When you take this endowment, you decide that we want to become the world’s leading suppliers of sausage derivatives, so that when you think of hamburger, you think of Nigeria because over 60 percent of the inputs come from Nigeria for the next 15 t0 20 years.”

prof. pat, what is the way forward

Buhari on his own is the epitome of corruption so what do you expect

Sir which political party do you belong? say it now before they misquote you.

If truly it's worse and Nigeria is moving at this pace, then the government needs to be more corrupt.


Maybe PDP was never corrupt and that's why we were stagnant for 16 years with only GSM to boast about.

Bros, Peter Obi is among top three governors of
this republic (1999 - 2020).

Anambra is among leading states in Nigeria today
because of Obi's giant strides

Peter Obi was an excellent governor

EFCC will pick pat Utomi before the end of February. Mark this page.

Another zombie just waking up at this time.

Buhari is actually a legendary trickster of the highest order.
Imagine a certificateless dullard Almajiri fully packaged by Yorubas with a change mantra by wearing a black suit bow tie then attended RCCG thanksgiving service at TBS....booom..!

He's a president with a professor /pastor as vice.

See broda.....broda wey mumu...

Prof should be prepared for the barrage of insults coming his way.

The Major General (Retd) can do no wrong.

If the Yorubas "packaged" Buhari for Nigeria then it means the rest of you are dullards and nincompoops who deserve whatever you get.

Rather than accept the democratic will of other adults, entitled to vote as they please just as you are, it is to blame Yorubas for everything.

In any case, and all things taken into account, PMB is actually the best President we have had since 1999.
