The Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers has tasked Nigerian leaders to reduce the cost of governance, reminding them that they are in office to serve and not to consume.
National President of NSChE, Anthony Uchechuku Ogbuigwe, spoke during the 31st Fellows Conference held under the theme: ‘Professional Ethics In Training and Practice’ in Port-Harcourt Rivers State. “Because you are the President doesn’t mean the country becomes responsible of everything you do. In the US, the President is responsible for his food and everything, it’s only when there is a government occasions that the US government pays for the food for that occasion”.
He said, “Poverty shouldn’t be the reason for where we are. The people who take bribe do not do it because they are poor, it is because of greed, insatiable greed , people want to live above their means, people want to enjoy things which at the end of the day have no value in terms of things that really matter.
