Senator Ali Ndume, representing Borno South Senatorial District, has raised fresh concerns over the persistent problem of corruption in Nigeria, stating that the country continues to celebrate individuals who steal public funds.

Speaking during an interactive session with newsmen in Kano State, Ndume highlighted how societal values have contributed to the normalization of ill-gotten wealth.

The senator expressed dismay that in Nigeria, those who embezzle public funds are not only unchallenged but are also praised for their riches.

He also disclosed that his previous attempts to introduce a law on unexplained wealth in Nigeria have been unsuccessful.
