He spoke while making a tribute to the late Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid and South African’s first black president, during the special inter-denominational memorial service held in his honour at the Aso Villa Chapel in the State House, Abuja.

Kaberuka said that corruption had become a global threat, causing a serious roadblock to economic development and prosperity.
