President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed why the Federal Government has not published the names of those who gave returned stolen public funds yet.
Buhari made this known during the 15th session of the Anyiam-Osigwe Foundation lecture at the International Conference Centre, in Abuja on Friday.
Here are the key points he made:
1. The President noted that the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, was holding back from publishing list so as not to jeopardize its investigations and bigger discoveries.
2. Steps have been taken towards recovering a reasonable amount of the money that was looted or misappropriated from public coffers.
3. Investigations are ongoing on public officers who served, or are still serving, and those whose conducts are questionable will be compelled to accept the path of honour and surrender their loot.
4. “Quite frankly, the anti-corruption war is not strictly about me as a person, it is about building a country where our children, and the forthcoming generations, can live in peace and prosperity”, he said.
5. “And that was why I said at another forum that people need not fear me, but they must fear the consequences of their actions. Corrupt acts will always be punished, and there will be no friend, no foe. We will strive to do what is fair and just at all times, but people who refuse to embrace probity should have every cause to fear.”
6. Dilapidated infrastructure in the country is a a consequence of corruption.
7. In due course, the Central Bank of Nigeria will make information available to Nigerians on the surrendered funds and looters
