PUNCH

A civil society group, Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, has said the National Assembly is the main problem of Nigeria and not the leaders of the country since independence.

CACOL was reacting to a resolution by the Senate that the nation’s leadership, since the return to full democratic rule 14 years ago, had taken no serious step to tackle corruption, unemployment, rot in the education sector, decayed infrastructure and nepotism.

Members of the Senate had unanimously submitted that the nation’s leaders, apart from those who fought for its independence 53 years ago, had failed to provide the required leadership that could make the country socio-economically independent.
