Ezekwesili also expressed her profound embarrassment, along with many Nigerians, when faced with derisive questions from foreigners regarding this issue that directly impacts the nation’s integrity.

She pointed out that certain public leaders in Nigeria tend to be averse to transparency, despite it being a crucial remedy for avoidable crises like the one unfolding in this case.
