Prof. Julius Okojie, the Executive Secretary of the NUC, said the bane of corruption in the country was lack of provision of basic necessities of life and lack of knowledge of basic societal norms. Okojie said that an individual’s behavioural pattern was determined by the society because “what the society defines as right, is what the people follow’’.
“We know that there are issues, but we must endeavour to be on the side of truth. When we learn to be honest and stand on the side of truth, this country will be better for all of us.’’
Alhaji Kabir Mashi, the Acting Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service , described the compliance programme as “a very good and noble development”, adding that with interaction, there would always be a better understanding of critical issues. Mashi, who said the programme would help in understanding the Bureau, gave the assurance that FIRS would ensure compliance with the Bureau’s requirements.
