My people, isn't it odd that the Nigerian Government is moving at a snails pace over the Nigerian angle in this Haliburton scandal!? For a govenment that claims to be fighting corruption on all fronts and in all its ramifications, it seemed not to even know such a scandal existed. Not till the NASS screamed blue murder over this did we begin to see some reports in the newspapers attributing this and that to the Attorney General of the federation, the EFCC chairman and so on.
As far as I'm concerned, this Haliburton issue presented a rather quick and easy way for the government to drive home its message on zero tolerance for corruption, since the case had already been tried in the US. There would therefore no doubt be a large cache of evidence to draw from, if only the Nigerian authorities were so willing...!!
Hopefully, the last has not been heard on this issue.
