The former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, has stated that the high rate of insecurity in the nation is due to the corruption of civil servants.
He alleged that civil servants steal millions and billions of naira meant for road construction, education, provision of power, food, and transportation in the country.
Sanusi stated this at the AIG Public Leadership Programme Class of 2021, in Abuja yesterday.
He said: “Today, you see civil servants stealing millions and billions of naira meant to build roads, provide power, water, education, food and transportation, to the detriment of the majority of Nigerians.
“All of these have given birth to Boko Haram, killer herdsmen, bandits and numerous arms struggles, especially among the youths, which resulted in the worst threats to human lives all over Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, the former CBN governor also revealed the reason he was sacked as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and Emir of Kano.
Sanusi in his statement disclosed that he was removed from these positions because of his attitude of speaking the truth to those in power. Read more
