Corruption remains the biggest obstacle hindering Nigeria from achieving its economic potentials, according to the Managing Director of Jaiz Bank, Muhammad Nurul Islam. Speaking in a keynote lecture at a one-day forum of the Finance Correspondents Association of Nigeria (FICAN), Islam said corruption had often given way to a situation where the wrong people had been given leadership responsibilities. Moreover, he said FICAN had a critical role to play in exposing illegal financial transactions. The aim of the FICAN platform was to promote a mechanism for reviewing and analysing activities in the country's economic sphere.
