The Chairman, Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, Professor Bolaji Owasanoye, SAN, has called for devolution of power to stem the tide of corruption in Nigeria. He made the call as a Guest Lecturer during a lecture titled: Whole of Society Approach in the Fight Against Corruption in Nigeria, delivered at National Defence College (NDC) to Course 30 Participants in Abuja.
