President Buhari delivered a markedly anti corruption speech as the keynote speaker at the 15th session of the Emmanuel Onyechere Osigwe
Anyiam-Osigwe lecture series in Abuja yesterday.

Premise for Material Wellbeing” and you can read

The portion which is making headlines is his
reaffirmation that looters are being investigated and
will be exposed.

“We must kill corruption before corruption kills us. Investigations are ongoing on public officers
who served, or are still serving, and those whose
conduct are questionable will be compelled to accept the path of honour and surrender their loots.”

He reiterated the commitment to reveals specific
details

“As I stated recently, a good number of people
who abused their positions are voluntarily
returning the illicit funds. I have heard it said that
we should disclose the names of the people, and
the amount returned. Yes, in due course, the
Central Bank of Nigeria will make information
available to the public on the surrendered funds,
but I must remark that it is yet early days, and any
disclosure now may jeopardize the possibility of
bigger recoveries. But we owe Nigerians adequate
information, and it shall come in due course. It is
part of the collective effort to change our land
from the bastion of corruption it currently is, to a
place of probity and transparency.”
