The lack of Nigeria’s seriousness in the fight against corruption is epitomised by the EFCC’s revival this January, of the N772 billion fraud cases of 13 former governors, who left office in 2007. There is evidence that a humongous sum of $4.5 billion in Nigeria’s Foreign Reserves could not be accounted for, after an audit by the Auditor-General of the Federation in 2022, as stated in a report released last month. Apparently, the big elephant in the room – corruption, is on display, which a former President said will kill Nigeria, if it was not killed. Paradoxically, no administration has demonstrated the resolve to confront this monster squarely
