Mr Ibrahim Magu,
Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has said that
corrupt tendencies were more pronounced among males than females.
“Looking at the number
of people that have been apprehended by the commission, the number of men
involved outnumber the women,” Magu said on Friday, in Abuja,
The News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN), reports that Magu made the statement when the executive committee
of the National Council of Women Society (NCWS), paid him a courtesy visit.
He said, however, that
women were not pure or immune to greed, but that were only less corrupt.
Magu described women
as nation builders, stressing that their roles in ensuring the right societal
values could never be over-emphasized.
The EFCC boss stressed
the need for collaboration between the commission and NCWS in the fight against
corruption.
