We’ll sell off all recovered assets – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has said all mismanaged and misappropriated national assets recovered by the federal government will be sold off.
According to the President, the proceeds from the sale will be paid to the treasury for the benefit of the country.
A statement made available on Monday by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, quoted Buhari as saying this when he received representatives of social groups in Daura Emirate.
He said that his administration would continue to pursue a robust, effective and legitimate anti-corruption campaign that safeguards the treasury and commonwealth of all Nigerians.
The President said, “For most ordinary Nigerians, if you give them good roads, railway and stable electric power they will be happy to carry on with their lives.
‘‘We are doing so much for our country and we will continue to do more out of the fear of God.”
The President said that he would not allow a repeat of what happened in the 1980s when buildings and other ill-gotten property seized by his military administration were returned to corrupt officials following his ouster as Head of State.
He told the groups that the All Progressives Congress (APC) -led government will consolidate on the gains and monumental achievements in the development of infrastructure across the country.
On agriculture development, the President promised that the Federal Government will sustain the provision of funds, improved seedlings and fertilizer to farmers to ensure that the sector remains the largest employer of labour to Nigerians.
