President Muhammadu Buhari says corruption in the education sector has undermined the government’s efforts and investments over the years
The President, who declared open the Fourth National Summit on Diminishing Corruption in the Public Sector at the State House, noted the federal government alone cannot bear the cost of funding education due to declining resources.
The Summit was organised by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Office of Secretary to Government of the Federation (OSGF) and Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
The President expressed concern on the manifestation of various forms of corruption in the education sector.
In his remarks, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, said the education sector had steadily assumed a pariah status because of corruption which erodes values and resources.
President Buhari was presented with an award as an Anti-Corruption Icon by the Chairman and Board of the ICPC.
