President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in New York reaffirmed his administration's commitment to the entrenchment of a  transparent and accountable public revenue management system in Nigeria.

Addressing the United Nations Plenary Summit for the Adoption of the Post-2015 Development Agenda,  Buhari said that his administration was taking steps to improve and streamline internal generation of revenue, and to plug all loopholes that had led to illicit capital flight from Nigeria.

‎A statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina said the president told the gathering that his government was also putting mechanisms in place to prevent oil theft and other criminal practices that were detrimental to Nigeria's economy.

Applauding the adoption of the Post-2015 Global Development Agenda,  Buhari said that he was very pleased that world leaders had reaffirmed their commitment to sustainable development, international peace and security, and the protection of the planet.

He said: "These are really the major issues of the day. For the first time, we have at our disposal a framework that is universal in scope and outlook, with clearly defined goals and targets, and appropriately crafted methods of implementation.

"The declaration that we have adopted today testifies to the urgency and the necessity for action by all of us."

Buhari noted that it was not for want of commitment that previous initiatives had failed or could not be fully realized.
