President Muhammadu Buhari has declared
that his administration was irrevocably
committed to doing all within its powers to
break the vicious cycle of corruption,
unemployment and insecurity in Nigeria.
He further vowed that the prosecution of persons
who have stolen national resources will begin
in a matter of weeks.
He stated this during the closed-door meeting
he had with the members of the National Peace
Committee led by Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar
in the Presidential Villa on Tuesday (yesterday).
“Nigeria has to break this vicious cycle before
we can make progress,” the President said,
adding that his administration was diligently
getting facts and figures pertaining to the
nation’s stolen funds, before proceeding to the
prosecution of identified culprits.
President Buhari told General Abdulsalami and
members of his committee that the Federal
Government, under his leadership, will not only
ask for the return of stolen funds that have been
stashed in foreign banks, but will also ensure
that those who stole the funds are put on trial
in Nigeria.
The President also said that as part of its
actions to address the national problems it
inherited, his administration was reorganising
Nigeria’s revenue generating institutions.
The President explained that a single treasury
account had been established for all Federal
revenue to ensure greater probity, transparency
and accountability in the collection,
disbursement and utilisation of national
funds.
“We have really degenerated as a country. Our
national institutions, including the military,
which did wonderfully on foreign missions in
the past, have been compromised. But we are
doing something about it. The military is now
retraining and morale has been resuscitated.
“As Petroleum Minister under Gen. Olusegun
Obasanjo in the 1970s, I could not travel
abroad until I had taken a memo to the
Federal Executive Council asking for estacode.
Now, everybody does what he wants.
“That is why security-wise and economically,
we’re in trouble,” President Buhari told his
guests, adding that those who have stolen the
national wealth “will be in court in a matter of
weeks and Nigerians will know those who have
short-changed them.”
