It was however the former speaker of Imo State House of Assembly Rt. Hon Godfrey Dikeocha stirred the audience with his observation and suggestion. Dikeocha said that the ruling by the supreme court that the EFCC should note investigate the finances of states was an open invitation to corruption. He then suggested that the national assembly should enact a law-making compulsory for details of all major contracts awarded by all tiers of government to be deposited with the anti-graft agencies.
The unveiling of Season Three in Abuja last week marks the beginning of a new focus of the programme on community and young people’s mobilization in the war on corruption in Nigeria.
