I hope he does,why should anyone declare their foreign assets when they not working for the F.G and have dual citizenship...All Bubu is thinking about is revenue yet we haven't seen our government shows it really cares about its citizens.I am really getting tired of 9ja.You want to spend all the moneyb on infrastructure living behind the people's welfare.Even though Bubu tried small,it is not enough he has to start thinking Big.

Whenever I read nonsense like this from you and your co stupid characters, I pity more for the so called youths. With every efforts to better your future with such policies, this is the kind of nonsense your brain can remember to post.

BUHARI is totally ignorant of what he is signing. Or he thought he and his goons will continue to be RULERS (of this Country) forever. "The evil that men do will surely catch up with them someday, sometime. The trap he(Buhari) is setting for other people will be used to CATCH him by other people.

So you want Nigerian Senate to amend the bill to include the establishment of Voluntary Offshore Assets Regularization Commission in order to receive recruitment slot benefits for their relatives..



no need for that, atleast the executive orders are already being carried out by one agency or the other before amendment.. let them do the right thing and let our distinguished senators argue for or against the motion, and if they decide to get a new agency so be it, after all their relatives getting slots are also Nigerian citizen

God bless you PMB. They will praise you for all you've done when you are gone. They are just blinded by hate and sentiments for now. And most of our youths are educated illiterates they know nothing about governance why they can never be the leaders of tomorrow.

Re: Buhari Signs Amendment To Executive Order 008 On VOARS by bigtt76(f): 5:09pm On May 22, 2020
Funny how Buhari appears to be working all after the death of Abba Kyari. Could it be that the late CoS has been the one slowing down Buhari? I mean he was the one designated to review all documents getting to the president.



todaynewsreview:
President Muhammadu Buhari, has signed the Executive Order 008 on Voluntary Offshore Assets Regularization Scheme (VOARS), of October 2018.

As a result of stakeholders input and need to strengthen implementation mechanisms and structures, the Order was reviewed. Consequently, the Amendment to Executive Order 008 of 2008 was signed on 20th May, 2020, by President Buhari.

Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, Special Assistant ( Media) to the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) made this known in a statement issued on Thursday, 21st May, 2020.

The statement disclosed that, the Executive Order 008 as amended, mandated the Attorney General of the Federation to set up and implement a Voluntary Offshore Assets Regularization Scheme (hereinafter referred to as “VOARS”). VOARS gives all relevant persons and their intermediaries who have defaulted in declaration of their offshore assets, the opportunity to voluntarily declare and regularize their offshore assets, subject to fulfillment of the terms and conditions stipulated in the Order and other subsequent regulations.

“In order to ensure seamless exchange of information, VOARS will work closely with Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) which has worldwide access to relevant financial information”.
FGN hopes that relevant persons amongst Nigerians, Nigerian entities and their intermediaries will seize the opportunity provided by VOARS to declare and regularize their offshore assets before it is too late. Relevant persons who voluntarily declare their offshore assets and pay the stipulated levy to FGN will receive compliance certificates which allows them to use their residual assets freely without hindrance. The recoveries accruing to FGN will be used for essential infrastructure development for benefit of Nigerians.

For defaulters who may be tempted to continue concealment of their offshore assets, Executive Order 008 as amended stipulates that “any domestic or foreign bank, asset manager or intermediary that cooperates with defaulters, enabling them to conceal offshore assets and obligations pertaining to them shall, upon discovery, be liable to pay FGN a penalty on the total of such offshore assets, in addition to other penalties provided for under Nigerian laws or laws of foreign countries from which Nigeria can benefit.”

Just another useless executive order signed to make sure the thieves in government declares their ill gotten wealth legally

So one politician now can refuse to declare assets and then steal for 6 years and with the rubbish in this order he can declare the loot of the past 6 years as his assets of 6 years before...

These idiots have no conscience I swear
