He said, “Social studies and civic education curricula in schools should include topics on corruption for the country to make appreciable progress in the fight against the menace.”
He added that “the National Assembly should ensure that the constitution is translated into various (major) Nigerian languages for Nigerians who do not read and write in the English Language in order to have a fair understanding and appreciation of the provisions of the constitution.”
