The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), is collaborating with the office of the wife of the president, Aisha Buhari, to engage Nigerian women in a nation- wide sustainable fight against corruption.
The programme which is tagged: Nigerian Women Against Corruption, (WAC), was initiated based on the significant role of women in the family and in the society at large.
The programme is scheduled to be flagged off by the wife of the president, Mrs Buhari, in Abuja at the International Conference Centre, on December 7, 2016.
According to the EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, “WAC is aimed at getting the women to buy into the corruption fight and to raise the consciousness of the consequences of corruption in the minds of their household in particular and also to create awareness of the evil of corruption in the larger society.
“Significantly, the WAC programme is coming up on December 7, 48 hours before the internationally celebrated anti-corruption day which is Friday, December 9, 2016. The crusade will later be taken to the grass-root through the state and the local governments across the country.”
He noted that the acting chairman, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu said the women engagement will help develop a comprehensive women-based programme of engagement that will enhance the fight against corruption.
He said women will thereafter help to act as watch dogs, foot soldiers and whistle blowers against corruption and to drive the regime of probity and accountability.
While speaking on the significance and why women need to buy into the corruption fight Magu said: “a woman who has the ability to build a home can as well tame the corruption monster”. While quoting the words of Diana Marriechild, he said “a woman is a full circle; within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.”
You think that with the overview of my complaints and expectations vis-a-vis the issue of corruption those in the Federal Agencies would think that rational to extend their arm of friendship to my appeals! Here again another lift from my correspondence sent to the Presidency on the 4th June 2015 – I had to look it up! Like I said they wait and take out ideas from the contents and they find people or groups to magnify your solutions! You discover that this particular aspect of the reforms in Nigeria is listed on No. 10, 47, and 93 of my letter apart from the earlier mention of the need for a (TSA) for IBB to do something about them in Nigeria! All that they term contributions from Nigerians and they will not call you from the from DIASPORA but they could poach ion your ideas – you give the solutions and they relax and find their friends and they take all the glory on the same list you find the CHANGE BEGINS WITH YOU IDEA – the national orientation!
See the Big problem in the country: going by the chasim in the council of State membership – the strange bed fellows effect as I described it! You discover that the slow pace in the anti-corruption exercise derived from the possibilities of connections with the culpable Nigerians tied with the Council Members – the past Heads of State whose association could be harm paring the degree of seriousness in Buhari to touch on toes of them!
Another arm of corruption will creep into the sytem when you start your so-called social service programme – you have not paid parents their salaries or pensions in some of the families you discover that there could be three to four graduates trained with government scholarships and down the road or next Village there are no graduate so in other words your programme is selective in that sense! And we know what social services programme is meant to achieve for the people as in the United Kingdom but you are now about to utilizing it for party purposes to enhance the position of a particular party wrongly in Nigeria! In those Billages where there are no graduates pensioners and =civil servants are not paod so they remain continually deprived whilst the towns and Villages and parents with two, three and four graduates take the funds and are financially better catered for in Nigeria whoever has advised you people on this! I don’t want to comment on the meals for the children since I believ the medical and health people already know the consequences and problems that will be encountered in the programme – like I saIid about NIGERIA – EVERYTHING IS ABOUT SPASMODIC THINKING UNTIL YOU GET TO A LEVEL OF NO RETURN!
Consider my solution for corruption and you can go home after work satisfied that things will begin to fall into line given time just like the Option A-4 is doing now! I heard that the Senate has agreed that the best for the outcome of the mistake in the Kogi Governorship election was for a fresh Primaries election – it tells how INEC and the Judiciary are not thinking rationally yet about politics for Nigeria!
