A book highlighting the adverse effects of corruption on the Nigerian society entitled To The rescue (Say No to Corruption), written by Canada-based Nigerian cleric, Pastor Amos Dele Dada has been launched in Lagos.
Speaking at the event, which also served as the launch of his Say No to Corruption Movement in Nigeria, Dada, who holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering and pastors Christ Apostolic Church, Bethel parish, Toronto, Canada, said that corruption was stunting Nigeria’s growth.
He said, “Nigeria has the potential to be great, and I am of the school of thought that it shall be great. In making this nation great, I believe there are so many questions we can ask, the two that I consider most relevant and appropriate are how did we get to this state of disrepair and how can we repair our nation?
“I do not want to bore you on how we got here, because I know we all know it and if there is one word in my opinion that is responsible for our decadence and failure as a nation, it is the word corruption. And therefore, the solution is simple, eliminate or reduce fraud.
