President Bola Tinubu has spoken on the activities of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) while reiterating how his administration planned to champion the fight against corruption.
The president made the comment while speaking at the Nigerian Economic Summit (NES) in Abuja on Monday, October 24 and was monitored by Legit.ng on Channels Television.
Tinubu reveals how to fight corruption in civil servant Tinubu said part of his administration’s plans to revive the country’s economy and fight corruption, particularly among the civil servants, was establishing mortgage banks.
According to the President, the establishment of the mortgage banks would allow students and civil servants to have access to loans to get houses and cars, adding that the move would reduce corruption among the workers in the long run.
His statement reads in part: “We cannot talk about anti-corruption when we have to look for cash to buy a car, where there are no mortgages for home ownership. Where do you expect a civil servant to have N3 billion, N3 million, N5 million for houses without corruption.”
