YIAGA Africa Tuesday disclosed that Nigeria has lost at least $582 billion since independence due to endemic corruption. Mbamalu explained that the debate was part of the bounce corruption project which was launched by Yiaga Africa in 2017 to mobilize 20 million Nigerians in the fight against corruption and demand for accountability. She maintained that through the debates, the views of young Nigerians would be harnessed into the fight against corruption as well as for propagating the values of integrity, transparency, and accountability. “As such, it has become important to engage young Nigerians on how to fight corruption and enshrine integrity, accountability, and transparency into the fabric of our society, and in our public and private sectors. If we do nothing about today’s challenges, they will compound just like house chores, leaving even much more to do.
