Nigeria Is Not Progressing Due To Corruption – Tsav

The former Commissioner of Police in  Lagos State, Abubakar Tsav, has revealed why Nigeria is not progressing due to corruption.

The elder statesman stated that the country is not growing because of corruption and lack of unity.

He made this claim while speaking at the book launch of ‘Integrity vs Power Play: Understanding the Buhari Phenomenon’ By Philip Agbese in Abuja.

Tsav who was crowned the activist of the year pointed to how corruption has eaten deep into the nation’s system.

In his statement, he said, “We are all aware that the reason Nigeria has refused to grow is because of corruption.”

“We are backward because the level of corruption in Nigeria is high.”

“Until we rise to challenge this cankerworm, Nigeria will not grow.”

The respected statesman noted that during his days, there was free education but the reverse is now the case.

He recalled with nostalgia, “During our earlier days, we went to free school, we were given free uniform but at the moment it is not so because of corruption.”

“Our children need to rise and challenge this so we could move forward.”
