Former President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has called for the entrenchment
of a culture of integrity across both the corporate and civil spaces
as a way of addressing the problems associated with governance,
democracy and development in the country.
Dr. Jonathan stated this on Wednesday in Lagos at the 40th anniversary
dinner of the Institute of Directors (IoD Nigeria), where he also
made a case for closer cooperation among African leaders, especially
former and serving presidents, stressing that Africa needs such
synergy, to ensure peace and progress on the continent.
Noting that there is a trust gap between leaders and the people of the
continent, the former President emphasised that the challenge could
only be addressed by honest and dependable leaders.
