NAPS President Urge Nigeria Students to Be Transparent and Shun Corrupt Practices As Nigeria Celebrate "International Anti-Corruption Day"

-

The President of National Association of Polytechnic Students, Comrade Olalere Benedict has urged all Nigeria students to be transparent and shun corrupt practices, in celebration of international anti corruption day.

In a statement released by NAPS Public Relation Officer, Comr Excel Christopher Olalere stated that "International Anti-Corruption Day has been observed annually, on 9 December, since the passage of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption on 31 October 2003 to raise public awareness for anti-corruption. 
"Corruption is a complex social, political and economic phenomenon that affects all countries. Corruption undermines democratic institutions, slows economic development and contributes to governmental instability.

He futher emphasized that corruption attacks the foundation of democratic institutions by distorting electoral processes, perverting the rule of law and creating bureaucratic quagmires whose only reason for existing is the soliciting of bribes. "Economic development is stunted because foreign direct investment is discouraged and small businesses within the country often find it impossible to overcome the “start-up costs” required because of corruption.

 He task all students leaders and stakeholders to shun any corruption practice in the student community and always stand by the welfarism of Nigeria students at large.  
"The students community is one of the largest community in Nigeria and if the leadership keep away selfish interest I believe we are the light this Nation is crying for on daily basis. 

President Muhammadu Buhari administration have been in serious fight over corruption practice which many believe it is outside but I assure you that the fight will be of no fruit if we in the students community continue to engage our self in corrupt practice, I use the medium to plead we stand and say no to any corruption practice so as to ensure the students community bring back the lost glory in the Nation.
