Lawyer Describes Public Sector Reform “Cosmetic”

A legal prpractitioner and  a member of the Crusade For Justice, Richard Nwankwo has tagged the reform taking place to sanitise the public sector as “cosmetic”.

He said “corruption as we know in Nigeria has grown over time and justice is yet to prevail. The approaches that can solve these problems have to be comprehensive, wholehearted and there must be a display of political will”.

Nwankwo, who spoke as a contributor on Channels Television’s flagship breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, on Tuesday, advocated for the creation of an enabling environment for battling corruption.

He added that the major way of dealing with the problem is identifying where to start from, saying “where do you start? You start from the leadership. If the leadership is clean, you see people falling in line.” He noteded that Nigerians are selective in addressing issues therefore constructive criticism is needed.

He therefore called on all Nigerians to come together to address the issues of corruption in the public sector.
