Description
Until recently, corruption and its attendant social vices ravaged the Nigerian landscape uninhibited. The determination of the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo, to confront this evil under its policy of zero-tolerance for corruption, was confirmed beyond doubt in a 3-pronged attack with the establishment of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC), the creation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as well as the reinvigoration of both, the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), in order to effect a total siege on the malaise. Additionally, the establishment of the Budget Monitoring and Price Intelligence Unit (BMPIU), provided the inbuilt bureaucratic checks to the cankerworm in the public service, as the procurement process that hitherto existed in the public service had been turned to a drainpipe in the system.
