• Says TSA saves N4b monthly, refuses to tackle TIThe Federal Government has scored itself high in the fight against corruption and extreme violence in Nigeria. Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, gave the pass mark, yesterday, at a media briefing to throw light on the stewardship of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration. Let me say here that fighting corruption is a marathon and never a sprint,” he added. He said: “The 2021 figure of 2,220 convictions represents a 98.49 per cent success rate, with only 34 cases, representing 1.51 per cent discharged. The minister clarified that the briefing was not to join issues with TI, but to highlight the mileage the Buhari administration had achieved in curing Nigeria of sleaze.
