President, Muhammadu Buhari, tells Aso Rock staffs that he
is committed to rehabilitating Nigeria. He also reiterated that his
administration would recover all looted funds and stop fraud in the civil
service. The President spoke at special session he had with the staff at the
fore court of the Villa on Wednesday, he decried the impunity at which past
leaders looted Nigeria’s funds.
He also wondered why the country could not save enough
during the oil boom, why states could not pay salaries and how anyone thinks it
would be easy to sustain an economy that saw oil price drop from over 100
dollars to just 30 dollars.
In spite of the challenges, however, the President told the
staff that the change he promised Nigerians during the campaigns must come, but
stressed that it was “a period to diversify and begin to feed ourselves using
agriculture”.
President Buhari further pledged to rehabilitate the country
for the sake of posterity and to sustain the fight against corruption. He told
the staff that they were supposed to be in the know of what was happening and
how a few people had milked the country dry, promising to recover all stolen
funds.
The President also asked the staff to always uphold
integrity assuring them of absolute dedication to the service of Nigeria where
those who behave themselves would have no problem. He said the exercise would
continue under his leadership and asked the staff to uphold the tenets of
integrity.
