Buhari To World Bank - Recover All Stolen Funds From Past Government by zyonnista(f): 6:25pm On Apr 27, 2016 |
The World Bank representatives today arrived Nigeria, and visited President Buhari at the state house, in which he urged the World Bank to ensure they do all they can to recover all stolen funds by the past government from the Swiss authorities . Speaking at a meeting with the visiting Managing Director of the World Bank, Ms. Sri Mulyani Indrawati, President Buhari said that the repatriation of the additional $320 million in Switzerland, which has been identified as an illegal fund taken from Nigeria under the Abacha administration, will help to ease the current economic hardship facing the country. Buhari assured Ms Indrawati that the present administration was taking appropriate steps to ensure that public funds are no longer stolen or misappropriated by any government official. ‘‘We need the support of the World Bank for the repatriation of the funds. We are as concerned as the World Bank about accountability. If such repatriated funds have been misapplied in the past, I assure you that the same will not happen with us. Three hundred and twenty million dollars is a lot of money and we will not allow it to be misappropriated or diverted,’’ President Buhari told Ms. Indrawati. One of the conditions given by the Swiss Authorities for the repatriation of the funds is that it should be expended on the implementation of social programmes for the benefit of the Nigerian people in an efficient and accountable way, guaranteed by the monitoring of the World Bank. Buhari also assured the World Bank Managing Director that this administration will honor all agreements with the Bank and will help to stimulate Nigeria's economy and reduce the level of poverty in the country. He said that Nigeria will welcome greater international assistance for the rehabilitation of damaged homes, schools, health facilities and other infrastructure in the North Eastern states affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. Ms. Indrawati told President Buhari that the World Bank is always ready to use its knowledge, expertise and resources to help Nigeria achieve faster growth and development. ‘‘We will strongly support you to create jobs and ensure prosperity in Nigeria,’’ the World Bank Managing Director assured President Buhari. She also expressed the World Bank's full support for the war against corruption being waged by the Buhari Administration.

Buhari is getting fatter. His lips are getting bigger. SMH. Even his ministers all look slim. Looks like hes not letting shishi trickle down into their pocket. The IMF should tell Bubu to go suck a dyk. He will only keep the money in CBN, and it seems hes bent on making Nigerians suffer like hell ![]() 1 Like |
