Joe Abah disproves the idea that Nigeria’s civil service is the cause of corruption, saying that “no civil servant will approach a politician in government with a corruption scheme.”

Claims that civil servants in Nigeria were the ones who started corruption have been refuted by Joe Abah, the former director of the Bureau for Public Sector Reform.

When responding to a Twitter thread from tech entrepreneur Osaretin Victor Asemota who claimed that civil servants in Nigeria are the main perpetrators of corruption, Abah rejected this assertion.
