“NEITI audit report probe suffers setback in Senate.” VANGUARD, August 4, 2026
The report by Henry Umoru also stated as follows:
• As CBN, NDDC, NEITI, NUPRC shun committee’s summon.
• You must appear on Thursday or we invoke our powers – SENATE.
The news report, which most readers might have dismissed without much thought (if they read it at all), points to two of the cardinal reasons corruption has been institutionalized in public service. Presidents and State Governors constitute the prime accomplices of corrupt officials; perhaps because their own hands are seldom clean. It is very difficult for a man, knee deep in filth to undertake the clean up of the premises. That explains why Nigeria’s public sector stinks so much; it has acquired a well-deserved global reputation.
