The governor of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwifuru, and former governors; Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Senator Sam Egwu and Chief Martin Elechi among others is set to converge in Ebonyi to brainstorm on the way forward in the against corruption in Nigeria.

The former Special Adviser to Ebonyi State government, Mr. John Onwe who made this known while speaking with newsmen in Abakaliki, lamented the high rate of corruption in Nigeria.

Onwe, an author of the book, ‘Anatomy of the crime of corruption in Nigeria’ said that the book launch scheduled to hold on 9th,March 2024 at the Pastorial Centre, Mill 50 Abakaliki, will be attended by Nwifuru, Orji Uzor Kalu, Egwu, Elechi, Bishops and other prominent Nigerians.

He stated further that the governor Francis Nwifuru, Orji Uzor, Egwu Elechi and the Bishops of various churches in the country will seize the opportunity to brainstorm on way forward, to tackle the menace of corruption in the country.

According to him: Nigerian rulers and their governments have counted corruption as the chief problem of the country. But it appears that they have never bothered to understand what corruption is, and what to do with it.

“Every ruler and every government have burdened themselves with the problem of corruption that it is now a sing song. But that is where it stops and ends because once the ruler climbs unto the throne, the problem of corruption surrounds him and overwhelms him.

“It is this problem that I observed and decided to study it to know what it is with a view to solving the problem” he stated.
