THERE is no doubt that corruption is a cankerworm that has eaten deep into the fabrics of Nigerian body politics. No institution, both public and private is spared this spectre that is yawning menacingly at our polity. Over the years, the nation’s rating in corruption perception index on international scale has dropped drastically.

LOANS are wonderful financial instruments, depending on who is borrowing, the lender, the purpose of the loans, and the sincerity of those who are proposing them.
