Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Senator Kanu Agabi, has said that Nigerians who have stolen monies abroad should repatriate them to help the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

Agabi believes some political leaders in the country have cash starched at different locations in foreign lands.<\/p>\n

The former AGF said this on the Commission\u2019s podcast, Ethicspod, insisting that it no longer matters whether the money was obtained legitimately or otherwise.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that fear of retribution has discouraged many of such individuals from returning these funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf these funds are invested in critical sectors like education, power, or infrastructure, Nigeria would be on the path to self-reliance and gradually eliminating corruption,\u201d Agabi said.<\/p>\n

The former minister maintained that corruption cannot be eradicated overnight and would require time.<\/p>\n

Agabi pointed out that leadership issues have been a major hindrance to the fight against corruption in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
