MULAN 2017 Conference: Corruption, Insecurity & Recession: The Inter Related Triumvirate Plaguing Nigeria – Yusuf Ali SAN

Excerpt:

The chief obstacles to dealing, capably, with the problems of poverty, corruption and insurgency are leadership crisis and institutional failures of the past. “When correction is in the hands of those who do wrongs”, so once wrote the Elizabethan writer, William Shakespeare, “whom then do we turn to for correction?” Professor Chinua Achebe, the venerated writer of Things Fall Apart, once observed that “the trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely of failure of leadership.”

The social 20 values of Nigerians can still be redeemed if her leaders will make her institutions work. The family, the education sector, the legal system, the economy, and, of course, our political institutions (especially State and National Assemblies) are in dire need of reforms.
