In a significant development focusing on corruption, Nigeria's anti-corruption agency has successfully arrested former Power Minister Saleh Mamman a week after he was sentenced to 75 years in prison for corruption. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) reported that Mamman was taken into custody in Kaduna state following weeks of surveillance. His conviction, which includes multiple counts concerning the misappropriation of funds allocated for hydroelectric projects, is notable in a country where high-level judgements are rare. The EFCC has emphasized its commitment to ensuring Mamman serves his sentence as a part of broader efforts to tackle corruption effectively. Despite Mamman's promises to enhance Nigeria's troubled electricity supply while in office, electricity access has remained a challenge in the nation.
