This brings us to the need for whistleblowing. They should be ready to join the EFCC in exposing corrupt practices in their midst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will emphasize more on preventive measures against corruption. International best practices in the fight against graft put preventive frameworks on the front burner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Olukoyede also advised local government officials to ensure economic development in their localities by avoiding stealing and financial misappropriation.<\/p>\n<p>In her remarks, Kaduna State Deputy Governor, Dr Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, called on the local government functionaries to embrace financial discipline in line with international best practice and avoid any form of corruption that may disrupt the financial system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
