(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – ,Former Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi, has identified other factors that are promoting corruption in Nigeria.

He said: “Morally and religiously speaking, corruption is a problem.

“Part of the problem we have is incompetence and that is why I keep saying we must pay attention to merit. There must be a merit test; a competence test.

“For me, I think the root of corruption is when we begin to de-emphasize merit, competence and performance.

“The worst form of corruption we have in this country is nepotism.”

He sated this during a webinar stressing that corruption will remain an issue in the country as long as incompetent people continue to occupy leadership positions.
