Corruption responsible for instability, poverty in West Africa —- Premium Times’ editor-in-chief

The Editor-in-Chief/Chief Operating Officer of PREMIUM TIMES Nigeria, Musikilu Mojeed, has said that corruption is largely responsible for rampant poverty and instability in the West African sub-region.

Mr Mojeed stated this recently while speaking to members of the Rotary Club of Accra-North in Ghana, a West African country.

Speaking on the topic, “Stealing from the poor: The West Africa’s corruption epidemic,” the award-winning investigative journalist lamented that West Africans had been “sufficiently impoverished” by the political class.
