Corruption: NACAT inaugurates South-South office in Akwa Ibom

The Network Against Corruption and Trafficking (NACAT), and anti- corruption NGO, has inaugurated its South-South Office in Akwa Ibom to strengthen its campaign against corruption.

The Coordinator, Mr Michael Ekpo, told newsmen in Uyo during the inauguration that NACAT was determined to fight corruption without looking backwards.

Ekpo said that corruption was a common enemy of the nation that required the collective effort of the citizenry to tackle.

He said that corruption was the reason behind the failed educational system, unemployment, and dysfunctional healthcare services across the country.

“As an agency, we are going all out to bring down this common enemy of ours called corruption. We urge everyone to join forces as we tackle this monster,” he said.

The coordinator further said that corruption was the reason Nigeria’s common patrimony fell in the hands of few individuals while majority lived in abject poverty.

“Corruption is the cause of unemployment and poverty, it is the reason our shared wealth is in the hands of a few individuals, the fight against corruption is a fight for a better Nigeria,” he said.
