The Attorney General of the Federation, LATEEF FAGBEMI, says he is not afraid to move against any agency of government found to be engaging in corrupt practices.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria made these remarks while answering questions at a fireside chat at the Nigerian Bar AssociationConference held in Lagos on the reforms undertaken by his ministry so far.
FAGBEMI stated that a key initiative in the reviewed anti-corruption strategy of the Federal Government is to engage with subnational governments to ensure their buy-in and ensure domestication of anti-corruption measures into their state laws, policies and practices.
He noted that in line with the country’s obligations under the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, his ministry has begun engaging with foreign allies to share intelligence and information on corruption and recover more stolen assets stashed abroad.
