President Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari is taking the war against corruption to the federal civil service, the presidency announced yesterday.
Senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity Malam Garba Shehu disclosed this to State House journalists.
He said the president was not happy that standard operating procedures and financial regulations were no longer observed in the public service.
The president, he said, was “irrevocably” committed to tackling administrative and bureaucratic corruption head-on.
“The era of impunity is gone. The president is taking the war on corruption to the civil service. He is not happy that standard operating procedures and financial regulations are no longer being observed as they should.
“President Buhari will ensure that public officials and civil servants ... pay a heavy price from now on for violating financial regulations or disregarding audit queries.
“On his watch, President Muhammadu Buhari wants to see firm action against those who violate extant financial regulations, and the prevarications and shenanigans that went on in the past in the form of endless probes and public inquiries.”
The president had, therefore, directed the Auditor-General of the Federation to ensure that all outstanding audit queries are conclusively resolved within 30 days, Garba said.
He said Buhari had also ordered that henceforth, all audit queries must be answered within 24 hours.
He said the orders followed Buhari’s displeasure on hearing that audit queries remained unanswered for long periods, sometimes running into years, under previous administrations.
He said Buhari was determined to end the situation in which rather than respond to legitimate audit queries, public servants violating financial regulations resorted to threatening, bribing or mounting other forms of social pressure on auditors.
President Buhari had promised during the election campaign period that he would fight graft head on, describing the level of corruption in the country as intolerable.
Since he assumed office, Buhari has push ahead with efforts to recover the billions stolen in the recent past by government officials.

My best line: "The era of impunity is gone. The president is taking the war on corruption to the civil service. He is not happy that standard operating procedures and financial regulations are no longer being observed as they should."

Corruption affects all facets of our lives hence the need to clean the house, the first sets of corrupt people are the politicians, contractors, public servants, civil servant, security, marketers and most of our businessmen. Surely people wouldn't like it but the next generation will surely enjoy and build upon the succes, I pray and hope an average nigerian will change himself and his environment, most people think being sharp is normal and hookwick a Mugu is not corruption and cheating is also mean you are smarter than the one that was cheated. Hmmm
May this government succed
Nigeria shall be great again
Change is constant

change has come

Weldone president buhari let them feel the change there also

Am with Baba on this mission of reducing corruption in the country to some level. In as much as the menace that is causing hoo-ha in the country cannot be mow completely, we shouldnt fold our arms and allow it to grow wings and start flying for it will be difficult to curb. Now that it is still moving fast on foot it is better we all start chasing it.

A better country than this is what i am praying for...

Ofcouse no elected Leader the world over gets all cabinate offices filled up immediately after swearing in. It takes a bit of time for all cabinate post to be fully formed. But for Buhari to go two months down the line without atleast, an SFG goes to show his level of preparedness for the job.
For now, the country has no magnitude or direction as far as the economy is concerned.
