President Mohammadu Buhari has said that from the
information he has gathered so far, Nigerians have no
business with poverty given the enormous resources which
God has endowed the country with.
To this end, he has promised to take appropriate measures
to stamp out corruption from the land and do all in his
power to reposition Nigeria as a prosperous nation that can
adequately cater for its citizens.
The President made the assertion Tuesday at the opening
of the 45th Annual Conference of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) in Abuja.
President, who was represented by the Permanent
Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Anastasia Nwaobia blamed
the poverty in the land on mis-governance and lack of
transparency.
Meanwhile, former Minister of State for Finance, Mr. Remi
Babalola, has recommended compulsory asset declaration
for all principal officers in the executive arm of government
as a means of checking the menace of endemic corruption
in the country.
From what I've seen, we have no business with poverty –Buhari
