Ayuba Wabba, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has called for stiffer penalties against corruption towards tackling the menace in Nigeria. He said Nigeria had remained underdeveloped with poor educational system, weak health institutions and abandoned projects, due to corruption. He said it was high time the NLC collaborated with civil society organisations towards addressing the evils of corrupt practices in Nigeria. “If you ask government officials today in the three tiers of government how many abandoned projects we have? Nwagwu said the partnership became imperative because there were over 2000 abandoned projects across the country in spite of huge resources expended.
