It is very important to look into some sections for 1999 constitution of (NIG) this will help background our minds on why EFCC & ICPC emanated or assumed operation in Nigeria. These sections include
Section 14
Section 16
Section 21
Section 23
MEANING OF EFCC & ICPC
EFCC: Economic and financial crimes commission
ICPC: Independent corrupt practices commission
According to section 14 (2) (b) and (c) here the constitution maintained that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government, and the participation by the people in there government shall be ensured in accordance with the provisions of this constitution. To infer meaning from the above sections of the 1999 constitution. No where the constitution maintained that there will be looting of public funds by the public officials which is common everywhere in section 16 sub(1)(a) and (b) of the 1999 constitution, also says that the ideals and objectives for which provisions are made in this constitution is to harness the resources of the nation and promote national prosperity and an efficient, a dynamic and self –reliant economy every citizen on the basis of social justice and equality of status and opportunity, control the national economy is such manner as to secure the maximum welfare, freedom and happiness of every citizen on the basis of social justice and equality of status and opportunity . but today we have some bad leaders every where in our different states who only mind their personal interest and forget those who put him there.
Our 1999 constitution in her greatest view of good governance in Nigeria captured section (21) and (22) of 1999 constitution which states that the state shall.
a. Protects, preserve and promote the Nigerian cultures which enhance human dignity and are consistent with the fundamental objectives as provided in this chapter, and
b. Encourage development of technologies and scientific studies which enhance cultural value. But all these are for nothing since our people don’t value our culture an other things but to emback on many laundering to develop another foreign countries instead of developing ours, too bad.
c. It is because of the above problem in Nigeria that necessitated the establishment of ICPC and EFCC to check or to scrutinize the criminals especially the public office holders who saw embezzlement as a culture of the day in Nigeria. All this is attributed more in some of our politicians because, EFCC AND ICPC work has severally manifested in many of our political like the formal governor of Bayesa, Enugu and also the FORMAL speaker of national house of assembly, Bankole
