Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Interior, Mr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, says corruption and corrupt practices fuel insecurity in the country, calling for all hands to be on deck to fight the menace.<\/p>\n

The minister said this, when he paid a courtesy visit to Dr Musa Aliyu, SAN, the Chairman of Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), on Tuesday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Tunji-Ojo said the purpose of his visit was to strike a synergy between his ministry and the ICPC.<\/p>\n

He expressed the belief that collaborating with anti- corruption agencies could help to tighten the belt and block loopholes even within the administrative processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know the Ministry of Interior is responsible for the enhancement of internal security and, of course, corruption is one of the biggest threats to security in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we don\u2019t need to move too far before we get to the point of intersection, where our interests remain.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that in leveraging and collaborating with ICPC, we might just be saving our country from a lot of effort that is needed in righting the wrongs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that all over the world the language is pro-activeness, the language is prevention, the language is no more detection or correction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, the world is moving and is moving so fast.<\/p>\n

He noted that as product of the 20th and 21st centuries, there was the need to learn the language of the 22nd century.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd, the language of the next generation, which we must learn as a country is to build strong institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne believes that the strategic relationship between these two agencies can of course block a lot of reports, can prevent and, of course, can deter even the imagination of ill doings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we do not do that, we will continue to run after the criminals. And, once we are running after the criminals, it becomes a game of fun to the criminals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He explained that all over the world the criminals would be running after the state to meet up with the state, not the state running after the criminal.<\/p>\n
