President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said his administration has
received firm assurances of cooperation from the United States and
other countries in his quest to recover and repatriate funds stolen from
Nigeria.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President spoke while granting
audience to members of the Northern Traditional Rulers Council, led by
the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja.
Buhari said it was now up to Nigeria to provide the international
community with the facts and figures needed to drive the recovery
effort.
He said he would be busy, in the next three months, getting the facts
that would help in recovering the stolen funds.
“In the next three months, our administration will be busy getting those
facts and the figures to help us recover our stolen funds in foreign
countries,’’ the President said.
Citing the report submitted by the Ahmed Joda-led transition
committee, Buhari said several revenue-generating institutions in the
country had been compromised, leading to a weak economy.
On insecurity, the President told the traditional rulers that they would
play a key role in stemming terrorism and insurgency in Nigeria.
He believed that this could be done by assisting the government with
cost-effective intelligence gathering.
Buhari assured the traditional rulers that his administration was
working hard to end insecurity and terrorism in the country in the
shortest possible time with the cooperation of neighbouring countries
and the international community.
Acknowledging that Nigerians expected a lot from his administration,
the President appealed for patience and understanding while his
government works diligently to speedily overcome the huge national
challenges it inherited.
The Sultan had earlier presented the Northern Traditional Rulers’
recommendations to the President on issues relating to national
development.
He told the President that as custodians of tradition and stakeholders
in the Nigerian project, the traditional rulers had a responsibility to
always advise political leaders on the “path of truth and justice”.
