The Chairman, Oyo State Anti-Corruption Agency, (OYACA), Hon. Justice Eni Esan (rtd.) stated this on Tuesday, during a courtesy visit to the residence of Olubadan of Ibadan land, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Lekan Balogun.

She noted that local communities will enjoy more dividends of democracy, if traditional institutions play active roles in the fight against corruption.

Esan emphasised that for the fight against corruption in the state to be effective, traditional institutions must be involved, considering their influence in the society.

She equally noted that the Governor Seyi Makinde led-administration, in line with its pledge to rid the state of corruption, is determined to win the war, hence the establishment of OYACA in 2020.

“We need to involve traditional institutions, because they have strong influence over the people within their domain. We are certain that you receive complaints from members of the public, so we earnestly appeal to you to refer any complaints on corruption to OYACA.

“The Olubadan-in-Council under your leadership could partner with us to rid Oyo State of corruption,” she said.

Reacting, the Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Lekan Balogun, noted that everybody has a role to play in the war against corruption, adding that the visit was necessary in a bid to eliminate graft in the state.

The traditional ruler pledged his support to the anti-graft agency’s activities.

He also commended the agency for being the vanguard of Nigerians against the sharp practices and urged staff not to relent in their efforts.

“You are making an impact already in Oyo State, as Nigerians are getting more conscious of your job. Your agency is keeping our future alive,” he said.

Those that accompanied the chairman include the Executive Secretary of OYACA, Mr. Ibrahim Tijani, and other members of the board.
