JUST IN: All Recovered Assets Will Be Sold, Says Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians that all
mismanaged and misappropriated national assets recovered will be
sold off.

In a statement issued on Monday by his Senior Special Assistant
on Media and Publicity Mr Garba Shehu, he also vowed to ensure that
the proceeds of the sales are paid to the treasury for the benefit
of the country.

President Buhari, who gave the assurance in Katsina State when
he received representatives of social groups in Daura Emirate, said
his administration would continue to pursue a robust, effective and
legitimate anti-corruption campaign that safeguards the treasury
and commonwealth of all Nigerians.

He also vowed 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.

The President told the groups that the All Progressives Congress
(APC) led government would consolidate on the gains and monumental
achievements in the development of infrastructure across the
country.

“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,” he said.

On agriculture development, President Buhari promised that the
Federal Government would sustain the provision of funds, improved
seedlings and fertiliser to farmers, to ensure that the sector
remains the largest employer of labour to the people.

He also maintained that the records of his administration’s
achievements in the areas of security, the war against corruption,
and the revival of the economy have remained very impressive.

The President was delighted that more young people are venturing
into agribusiness while security, especially in the North-east, has
remarkably changed from what he met in 2015.

On his part, the spokesman of the delegations, Mr Mohammed
Saleh, commended President Buhari for implementing policies and
programmes that have created gainful employment to thousands of
young Nigerians under the Social Investment Programme.

Saleh said improved electricity supply in their communities and
growing foreign reserves are clear indications of good management
of the economy under the present administration.

The delegations also congratulated the President on his
appointment as the continental Champion against corruption by the
African Union, noting that it underscored the global appreciation
of the good work he is doing in fighting corruption.

They further commiserated with him on the recent loss of his
close family members.

The groups represented at the meeting were the Daura Emirate
Coalition of Associations; the Amalgamation of Daura Emirate
Political Associations; the Buhari Group; the Daura Emirate
Development Forum; Women in Politics in Daura Emirate, and the
Daura Emirate Consultative Forum.
