Corruption has been described as a terminal disease ravaging development and growth of continents of the world, Africa in particular.
This was said by Princess Gloria Akobundu, National Coordinator/Chief Executive Officer, African Union Development Agency-New Partnership for Africa’s Development (AUDA-NEPAD) Nigeria, in a statement signed by Obed Atuora, Assistant Director (Media) in the agency.
According to Akobundu, Nigeria being the giant of Africa is determined to eradicate the disease from her soil.
The National Coordinator said this at the event marking the 3rd African Anti-Corruption Day with the theme; Towards a common African position on Asset Recovery, organised by EFCC in collaboration with AUDA-NEPAD Nigeria on Thursday in Abuja.
