The Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, has declared that the fight against corruption should not be limited to the Federal Government and its agencies alone.
Fagbemi posited that the States should be involved in the fight against corruption.
The AGF stated this on Tuesday during a one-day Hybrid Sensitization Workshop on Revised Guidelines on Negotiation and Drafting of Contracts and Agreements by Government Parties to Prevent Corruption and Illicit Financial Flows and Ensure Sustainable Development.
The event was organised by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
He said, “I want to mention that the issue of corruption and the tendency to limit the fight to the Federal Government alone is wrong.
“Contracts are not awarded at the Federal level alone; States are also involved. There should be a way of bringing some of these states on board.”
