*says militants attacks in Niger Delta would not deter formal engagements
with leaders
By Levinus Nwabughiogu
ABUJA-President Mohammadu Buhari has shifted the responsibility of
naming the looters of national assets and the details of the loot to the
Ministry of Information.
Recall that the president had at various times in the recent times assured
Nigerians that he would make public the details of the money recovered
from looters during his Democracy Day national address.
But while making the
broadcast on
Sunday, the
president who
however
acknowledged that
some significant
amount of assets
have already been
recovered said that
the Ministry would
soon give full
details.
He said: "We are
also engaged in
making recoveries of
stolen assets some
of which are in
different
jurisdictions. The
processes of
recovery can be
tedious and time
consuming, but
today I can confirm that thus far: significant amount of assets have been
recovered.
"A considerable portion of these are at different stages of recovery. Full
details of the status and categories of the assets will now be published by
the Ministry of Information and updated periodically."
The president said that the funds would be plough back into the national
treasuries when forfeiture formalities were completed.
"When forfeiture formalities are completed these monies will be credited to
the treasury and be openly and transparently used in funding
developmental projects and the public will be informed", he said.
Speaking on the attacks on major oil and gas installations in the Niger
Delta region, the president also said the government would engage with
the leaders of the zone to stop further attacks.
He however said that government would wield the big stick should the
militants continue to dare it.
"On the Niger Delta, we are committed to implementing the United Nations
Environment Programme report and are advancing clean-up operations. I
believe the way forward is to take a sustainable approach to address the
issues that affect the delta communities. Re-engineering the amnesty
programmes is an example of this.
"The recent spate of attacks by militants disrupting oil and power
installations will not distract us from engaging leaders in the region in
addressing Niger Delta problems. If the militants and vandals are testing
our resolve, they are much mistaken. We shall apprehend the perpetrators
and their sponsors and bring them to justice", he said. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/645693/ |
