Hon. Yunusa Ahmad, a member of the House of Representatives, on Thursday, has called on Nigeria to consult the oracle on the lingering state of corruption.

Ahmad said this in Abuja while speaking to journalists at the African Conference on Debt and Development (AfCoDD II 2022) organised by Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ).

The lawmaker lamented that the country has ignored adequate laws to tackle corruption.

According to him, this has led to the act of stealing to be perfect and difficult to trace anything through paper.

Ahmad added that the National Assembly had been playing its role to fight corruption through oversight and was passing relevant laws that were in match with it.

He said:
We played our roles. First, we assumed there were allegations of corruption. First, we check, is it the law that did not plug the loopholes? We look at the law, study them and then evolve laws that will be in tandem with the reality or modernity.”

One of the interventions the National Assembly made was the enactment of Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) Act, then separating it from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the enactment of the Money Laundering Act, according to Ahmad.

In over-sighting too, we try to ascertain to what extent are the laws being obeyed. We discovered everything is there. In Nigeria, when you are trying to find fault through the papers, you will never get anything because the papers are neat.

“But when it comes to practical issues, that is why mystique is there. Last week, you heard when termites ate billions, sometimes we had snake swallow some money in JAMB. So, we really need to consult the oracle. The issue here is that the National Assembly is doing its job,” he again said.
