Corruption Can’t Be Eradicated Completely, But … – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has stated that while corruption cannot be completely eradicated, it can be reduced to its barest minimum.
Speaking during a live presidential media chat broadcast nationwide, Tinubu emphasised the importance of addressing systemic flaws to curb corruption.
He said in part, “Block all the loopholes, where anybody can just gain in the system. Part of the anti-corruption is the removal of subsidies, too.
“It is very very difficult to say you will eliminate it, you will reduce it to the barest minimum, meet the people’s needs, help the people grow, and help them with the education of their children.”
When asked about subsidy removal, he said, “We are spending our future. We are spending our generation’s fortunes. We are not investing. We are just deceiving ourselves.
“Why should you have expenditures when you don’t have revenues?
“I don’t have any regret in removing the fuel subsidy. We cannot spend our generation investment.
