A professor of Management and Accounting and the Vice-Chancellor of Lead City University has identified a lack of sustainable development and political stability as reasons corruption and insecurity are thriving in Nigeria. He made the comments while delivering a lecture entitled: “Sustainable Security, Governance and National Development; Implication for Fraud Examiners” at the 2nd annual Anti- Fraud National Conference organised by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, at the Equity Resort in Ijebu Ode. In such circumstances, the authority of government over their citizenry tends to be progressively eroded and undetermined,” he said. The vice-chancellor asked the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFEs), being the premier provider of anti-fraud training and education to do all in its power to reduce business fraud and inspire public confidence. He also appealed to the government and fraud examiners to ensure that all relevant agencies and anti-corruption policies are strengthened and for the legislature and judiciary to wake up to their responsibilities.
