Transparency International and Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) have called on the Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS to impose economic and political sanctions against the Nigerian government for non-implementation of the judgment on the right to education for every Nigerian child.

The groups, citing article 77(1) of the ECOWAS Treaty, insisted that Nigerian government must account for the huge sums of money invested in the education sector.

At the media launch of the ‘Global Corruption Report: Education’ on Thursday in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, the organizations stressed that, corrupt practices have been identified in the nation’s education sector.

The report noted that corruption had a devastating impact on developing nations, particularly in Africa, hindering progress towards the Millennium Development Goals and jeopardising social and economic development.

The organizations also warned that “corruption in education threatens children’s prospects in Africa,” and called on “governments to tackle the problem without further delay.” ChannelsTV
