The UN scribe’s speech was read by chairman of ICPC, Barrister Nta Ekpo.

He also urged the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, to rise up and take full responsibility in fighting evil.

“The 2030 Agenda for sustainable Development is the world’s inspiring new manifesto for transforming our world and building a better future for all. But as we undertake this crucial journey of implementation, a broad barrier stands in our path, and that is corruption,” he noted.

According to him, no nation, including Nigeria is immune, insisting that every country must take the responsibility of ending the canker worm, stating that corruption strangles people, communities and nations.

Ban Ki Moon continued: “It weakens education and health,undermines electoral processes and reinforces injustices by perverting criminal justice system and the rule of law.

“Corruption wrecks economic and social development and increase poverty, it harms every one, but the poor and vulnerable suffers most.”

Earlier, the ICPC boss, who was represented by the South- East zonal Head of the anti graft agency, Prince Mohammed Hassan, disclosed in his speech that the commission has developed strategies for proactive prevention and strict enforcement for sustainability.
