[size=28pt]Nigeria Is A Country Of Good People - EFCC[/size]


Mrs. Farida Waziri, EFCC Chairman, said in Abuja on Thursday that Nigeria is a country of good people.


She told the Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Mrs. Oluremi Oyo, whom she visited, that the fact that one or two Nigerians transgressed against the law once in a while did not mean that Nigerians are bad people.


“Nigerians are many, but unfortunately one negative thing done by a Nigerian is taken as what Nigerians do.


“The perception of people outside the country about us as a nation of fraudsters is totally wrong. We are a country of good people.


“The problem is that the good we do is never published,’’ she stressed. Waziri said, however, that Nigeria and Nigerians needed to effect some changes to reverse the negative perception of the country by the outside world.


“The fight against economic crime and corruption is not just about taking people to court or investigating them, but getting the anti-corruption message across to the people in a manner that will lead to a change of mindset about corruption and the few corrupt people,’’ she said.


She expressed her determination to partner with the media to get the anti-corruption message across effectively.


Earlier, Oyo told Waziri that the Nigerian media, particularly NAN appreciated the work of the EFCC in stamping out http://www.nigerianobservernews.com/17052009/sundayobserver/othernews2.html
