The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) greatly appreciates the solid commitment shown by Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari in confronting corruption in his own country and across the African Union.

In a July decision, the African Union unanimously endorsed the appointment of President Buhari as its anti-corruption champion. The Nigerian President, who has introduced a zero tolerance policy on corruption in his own administration, is expected to lead an African Union summit on anti-corruption next year.

This appointment is a welcome recognition of President Buhari’s own efforts against corruption in Nigeria, and a sign of Africa’s determination to rid itself of a crime that blights development and progress.

UNODC remains a staunch ally of Nigeria and the African Union and expresses the hope that fighting corruption will lead to greater economic growth and prosperity for all African people.

Nigeria, along with dozens of other countries, will take part in the Seventh Session of the Conference of States Parties to the UN Convention Against Corruption, to be held 6-10 November. The conference brings together over 1,000 representatives of member states, academics, anti-corruption practitioners, and civil society to discuss how to tackle corruption.

Foreigners in diplomatic circles are often more enlightened about Nigeria than Nigerians. He must be doing something right to have received such recognition.

You are blowing unnecessary grammar. Even Obaigbogbo cannot cover buhari's corruption and incompetence with big big grammar.

You say foreigners in diplomatic circles kini Kan kini Kan?
Oga na person wey wear shoe no where the shoe dey pinch am.

Buhari is like a Size 40 shoe being worn by a foot that should normally wear size 44 which in this case are Nigerians.

The best thing is to pull off the shoe and be free from the pain.

" In a July decision, the African Union unanimously endorsed the appointment of President Buhari as its anti-corruption champion."



In July? While he was still on his sick bed?


You mean before the Babachir report was handed over to him and he sat on it?

Before Kachikwu blew whistle on the contract scam going on at the NNPC before he was called to the villa and given stern warning to go make peace with Baru?


Lets know when they release the December report.

African Union appointed him its anti-corruption champion in July not the United Nations which just released the statement.
