Bennett Oghifo
Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, has reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to strengthening anti-corruption institutions, promoting integrity and deepening collaboration across Africa, insisting that corruption remains one of the greatest obstacles to the continent’s development and prosperity.
Also, the Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) has called for stronger collaboration among governments, anti-corruption institutions, development partners, civil society organisations, the private sector and citizens to deepen integrity and strengthen accountability systems across Africa.
Speaking at the 2026 African Union Anti-Corruption Day commemoration held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, Fagbemi said the fight against corruption must go beyond prosecution to building resilient institutions capable of preventing corruption before it occurs.
