Abstract
This statement from the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria reflects the outcome of the regime's efforts at fighting corruption in its first four years (1999-2003) in office: "Some members of the Nigerian public have expressed their opinion to the effect (that) our anti-corruption crusade in the last four years has been deficient in credibility because it appeared to lack the support of the Federal Executive Council who only rarely expressed their support in public. The situation has to change with the new cabinet. Each and every one of you must do more than give a nodding support for the anti-corruption crusade, to which the government is unequivocally committed. You must all be apostles of the anti-corruption crusade by your deeds and utterances at all times. You must set up anti-corruption units in your ministries and departments. Our determination to fight corruption is infinite, and we will leave no stone unturned."
