CORRUPTION AND VISIONARY LEADERSHIP: WHICH IS NIGERIA'S BIGGEST PROBLEM? by Olarewaju Olaniyi Precious
Corruption as big as it is in our Nation's life to me is not the biggest of all the problems that face us as a people. Infact, it is a problem which can be easily overcome if only we have leaders with big and realistic ideas and the ability to think and find solutions to our many challenges which corruption is one. Corruption is a systemic-problem; it is a problem created as a result of failure of the system. I believe to solve the problem of corruption, all we need to do is, look inward within the system in other to address it, because for every systemic-problem, there is a systemic-solution. What is needed in tackling corruption in Nigeria is, amending the outdated and ambiguous laws, so as to guide against corruption and strengthen the anti-corruption institutions in other to adequately implement and enforce these laws. With these done, corruption will be drastically reduced and with time, it will become a thing of the past. As big as the economies of China and India are today...
