Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed says the government’s anti-corruption fight is yielding results.
He spoke on Tuesday in Abuja at the special edition of Federal Government’s Town Hall Meeting to mark mid-term of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
He said: “there are more prosecutions and there will be more convictions for public sector corruption than Nigeria has ever seen.
“We have acted to address the leakages in government spending that make corruption possible.
“The anti corruption war is yielding dividends through the zero- based budgeting, the Treasury Single Account (TSA), the government’s efficiency unit and the hugely successful whistle-blower policy.’’
The minister recalled that before Buhari took over, corruption level in the society and the impunity of those involved had become completely unacceptable.
According to him, the government was restoring the sanctity of the judicial system and implementing Economic Recovery and Growth Plan designed to reset the economy.
Mohammed said that the administration had also achieved a lot in its agenda of economic recovery and restoring security to the entire country and the North-East in particular.
