A survey conducted by Pricewaterhouse Coopers, PwC, has exposed major pitfalls in the operations of some Federal Government regulatory agencies.

The Cost of Compliance Report was presented to the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council at its first virtual meeting of the year on Tuesday.

The report revealed persistent corruption, duplicity of functions, poor service orientation, and several anti-business dispositions in some of the regulatory agencies.

As a result, PEBEC resolved that CEOs and heads of some federal government regulatory agencies be presented with the outcome of the recent survey in a renewed attempt at further deepening the reforms of the nation’s business environment.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who presided over the meeting, directed that CEOs and heads of the concerned government regulatory agencies involved should be presented with the outcomes.

Osinbajo, in a statement on Wednesday by his spokesman, Laolu Akande, said interaction should take place regarding some of the worrying disclosures in the report of the survey conducted by Pricewaterhouse Coopers, PwC.

Osinbajo said the report revealed human issues that were not unavoidable, stressing the important roles regulatory agencies play in ensuring businesses thrive seamlessly without inhibition.

He said doing otherwise would only jeopardize the government’s efforts in creating a conducive business environment.

He said: “If the environment on account of regulatory authorities is so difficult or expensive, such that people are discouraged or it doesn’t make sense for people to do business, then we are shooting ourselves in the foot in a manner we can only blame ourselves. These are human issues and we must do something very serious about these issues.

“I’m in full support of holding our CEOs to account because they, in turn, must hold their staff to account. If there is systemic corruption, bribery and extortion, and nobody is held to account, there is a problem.”

Thought they have been fighting same charade called anti-kwarrapton war for the past 5 years while calling everyone corrupt except themselves? Checked out all the high profile corruption cases that have been swept under the carpet under Bubu for one to have a grasp of how corruption have thrived uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Nigeria have never made any headway on TI anti-corruption index.So corruption have simply been thriving because they have simply legalized it.

Ironic how dis is reported under the administration deceiving it's people with an imaginary anti corruption crusade

Charity they say begins at home, how many people in your state from 1999 till date have been arrested for stealing state funds? It is Buhari’s duty to come & arrest your father for misappropriation of funds, not his colleagues & Superiors, it must be the President?

It is becos of ppl like U dat dis country will neva get beta. My State Governor didn't campaign on an imaginary Integrity. My state Governor is the one always championing a corruption fight. My state Governor didn't appoint a corrupt EFCC head who was rejected severally by the Senate and had several petitions before eventuallgy ending the way he did. My State Governor didn't appoint saints to head MDAs dat have now become a den of thieves. Infact my state Governor was removed and replaced by a supreme Court Governor who came 4th in the elections. So shut the hell up and face front

all the agencies should shun practices, this can hamper the development of Nigeria business environment and cause hardship for people both the business owners and final consumers. the vp is spot on this.

govt officials have a responsibility to the Nigerian people to not only abstain from corruption in their agencies and ministries but also to whistleblow anyone culpable. the development of the economic environment is dependent on a corruption-free system.

Corruption is the only incurable disease that has been struggling with the development of this nation since past years, until we conquer it, then things will take better shape.

[/s]“Once you join our party, your sins are forgiven(Adams Oshiomole)“.This was the reason why it took several months to ease out Babachir Lawal who allegedly awarded a government contract worth several millions of Naira to his own firm to cut grass.

Then came the Maina saga, the Yussuf fellow at NHIS, the Ganduje bribery saga and several other corruption scandals swept by the “broom” under the carpet.

Tinubu can boast of his right to have bullion vans moving into his house with cash while Uyi was incarcerated for legally transferring money through a bank with his crime being that he is a lawyer to Atiku. Buhari’s Animal Farm!

-3).We can see, therefore, that President Buhari’s anti-corruption fervour is merely self-serving. He regards only his political opponents as having the copyright on corruption. By this token, every allegation of corruption leveled against his friends and financiers must be “baseless.” https://opinion.premiumtimesng.com/2018/10/23/president-buhari-is-not-against-corruption-by-femi-aribisala/
