President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said his administration has received firm assurances of cooperation from the United States and other countries in his quest to recover and repatriate funds stolen from Nigeria.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President spoke while granting audience to members of the Northern Traditional Rulers Council, led by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Buhari said it was now up to Nigeria to provide the international community with the facts and figures needed to drive the recovery effort.

He said he would be busy, in the next three months, getting the facts that would help in recovering the stolen funds.

“In the next three months, our administration will be busy getting those facts and the figures to help us recover our stolen funds in foreign countries,’’ the President said.

Citing the report submitted by the Ahmed Joda-led transition committee, Buhari said several revenue-generating institutions in the country had been compromised, leading to a weak economy.

On insecurity, the President told the traditional rulers that they would play a key role in stemming terrorism and insurgency in Nigeria.

He believed that this could be done by assisting the government with cost-effective intelligence gathering.

Buhari assured the traditional rulers that his administration was working hard to end insecurity and terrorism in the country in the shortest possible time with the cooperation of neighbouring countries and the international community.

Acknowledging that Nigerians expected a lot from his administration, the President appealed for patience and understanding while his government works diligently to speedily overcome the huge national challenges it inherited.

The Sultan had earlier presented the Northern Traditional Rulers’ recommendations to the President on issues relating to national development.

He told the President that as custodians of tradition and stakeholders in the Nigerian project, the traditional rulers had a responsibility to always advise political leaders on the “path of truth and justice”.

Neo colonialism

This is not the first time we're hearing this.

After recovering those stolen funds, Please invest them in our country.

We want to see direct evidence that our money is being used and not re-distributed as usual again.

Good luck Buhari.

I still don't see were US is mentioned in the article, or is it bid to remix the story so that it don't sound like that of "channels" and "vanguard" where the president just claimed to make headway in three months on recovery of stolen wealth.

Mr president, too much talk and no work, makes Nigerians loose trust in you.

Comon, it been, "he said" or "they said" or "i will " i am tired of these fvcking preambles.

Remember you promised do a lot in your first 100 days, my eyes are yet to verify them.

Anyways, goodluck but our patience are wearing out, we expected a swift actions. Desperate times they say requires desperate measures. Oga abeg fast do am.

your entire family combined will never know half of what Buhari knows.. You are such a bimbo. You think it will be easy to recover our looted funds without the help of US and others? Don't you know most of these looters keep these funds in foreign banks? Now tell me how you intend to recover these funds without them. Bigot

President Buhari has started again

.

For a man who hasn't even appointed any ministers, don't you think he is making too much statements via the media.

Does this not imply that our president has cluelessly started work without appointing any ministers?

Is this adding up?

Don't you get the feeling that Buhari is not making all the statements ascribed to him?

PMB is the best and simply the best . God bless JEGA for insisting on card reader . Nigeria has found her leader .

Apparently, this saTANoids have no thinking capacity. They expect Buhari to be going round foreign financial institutions, asking them to return looted funds if any is in their custody.
