The book reviewer, former Speaker of the House of Reps, Ghali Na’abba, said corruption in the country is often defined from a subjective perspective.
He described the menace as a failure of leadership in the country.
“There is no consensus on what constitutes corruption most definitions of corruption in Nigeria have been subjective,” he said.
“Corruption is not only in matters of finance, corruption also means deviance. It is simply a failure of leadership. It is social deviance. Nepotism, stealing and all social deviance is corruption.”
