AWKA — GOVERNOR Peter Obi of Anambra State has said Nigeria had the capacity to curb corruption, insisting that what was required was for the people to manage the level of their greed.

Speaking during the opening ceremony of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, ICAN, anti-corruption workshop in Awka, the governor observed that if all hands were on deck, corruption could be considerably reduced in no distant time.

The theme of the workshop was “Enhancing Economic Growth through Anti-Corruption Measures.”

Obi noted that though many other countries were not better in terms of corruption, their citizens were less greedy and show more patriotism.

“We are all responsible for the high level of greed and corruption in our country. We have no other country and therefore must do something urgently to curb the menace.”
