South West Governors Wives , Magu, Others Converge On Lagos Against Corruption

Published by Leadership on Thu, 23 Feb 2017


Wives of South- West Governors, women from the region and acting Chairman Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC) Mr Ibrahim Magu,among other stakeholders on Wednesday converged on Lagos to tackle the menace of corruption rocking the country.Speaking on behalf of Wives of South-West Governors, at the South-West Rollout of the Nigerian Women Against Corruption Initiative held in Ikeja area of the state, wife of Lagos State Governor Mrs Bolanle Ambode emphasized the need for early inculcation of right virtues in children from the home front especially by discouraging any act, behaviour and attitude that gives credence to corruption.She said it was high time Nigerian women took a stand against corruption by ensuring that their children are given the right upbringing based on time-honoured values of honesty, integrity, trust, fear of God and dignity of labour.According to her, the initiative is a project of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in collaboration with the office of Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari.Mrs Ambode identified corruption as one of the major factors responsible for the current state of the Nigerian economy, maintaining that women are strategically positioned by their role as moulders of characters and behaviours to lead the way in the anti-graft war.She said, The fight against corruption must be seen as a priority in which everyone must be involved if we desire to sustainably address the issue of poverty and also make the economy work for everyone.I will therefore use this opportunity to lend my voice to all our mothers and sisters in Lagos State and the Southwest region to take a stand against corruption.Let us start the fight from our homes by discouraging any act, behaviour and attitude that aids and abets corruption. If we succeed as individuals in our various homes, there will be no room for corruption and corrupt practices in the larger society.
