President Muhammadu Buhari said on Sunday that young people must lead the fight against corruption on the African continent to rescue it for the future generations.

Buhari noted that if the youths took up the fight, they would help to safeguard the resources of the continent within the African states and from the hands of looters.



The President was speaking in Abuja at the launch of the African Youth Congress Against Corruption.

The Nigerian President is the “Champion of the 2018 African Anti-Corruption Year,” a task the African Union gave him earlier in January to drive the war against corruption on the continent.

The AU, under the leadership of President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, had chosen “Winning the Fight Against Corruption: A Sustainable Path to Africa’s Transformation”, as the theme of this year’s anti-corruption crusade.

Speaking at the launch, which took place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Buhari recalled how the African Union Assembly, African heads of state and governments adopted the Nouakchott Declaration on corruption to justify the seriousness of the campaign and the role of young people as the catalysts for its success.

“The Declaration reiterated that corruption is not only an African phenomenon but a global one, especially when we consider illicit financial flows where Africa, regrettably, is in fact a net creditor to the world,” he stated.

On the place of the youths in driving the anti-graft war, Buhari added, “To the young people of Africa, this fight against corruption is yours to lead and to win in order to reverse the negative trends of corruption and its implications for Africa.

“The youth of Africa must pool their energies to effectively ensure that our natural and mineral resources remain on the continent for value addition, job and wealth creation as well as to create affordable health-care and quality education for our people. Winning the fight against corruption is very much in your hands!

“I thereby encourage young Africans to use this Declaration as motivation to achieve greater resource investment in developing anti-corruption curricula and anti-graft campaigns in schools, businesses and the general public space.”

Which kind leader we get for naija... Jubril nor ver step down for youth to lead naija... Na e Dy open e mouth Dey talk say make youths lead the fight against corruption... How the youths wan take lead when people like magu Lai Mohammed gaduje still Dy walk freely

For petes sake, is this man ok at all, i'm beginning to believe this man is a robot and corruption was the only word progammed into his brain, is corruption the only viable aspect that will improve the country what of the economy? what of basic social amenities? what of security and cost of living?? cant he talk about that ni

It's a pity that buhari still talks about fight against corruption while corruption is resident in his administration. How can youth lead fight against corruption while freedom of expression has been jettisoned and subdued by your government? Can this be achieved under your government? We are very much disappointed in you Mr buhari

OK sir

This jubril is a baestard walahi.
Nothing wey him dey ever lead for him life.


Anyway na afonjas i blame for this nonsense.

Oga presido, abeg nor vex,
start from yourself to fight the corruption.
show us example,
obey rule of law,
obey court others,
prosecute gandollar and his likes,
Remove your cap,
address the nation and MORE.

How about the old African leaders.

Easier said than done! Begin by first letting an aspiring youth to become the next president. Hypocrites in power!!

Nonsense from a highly corrupt fellow. I am interested in seeing you go back to Daura.

Buhari fight jubril abi jubril fight buhari

They should have asked him how?

Geoffrey onyeama laughing behind like woman wey dem press her breast.

Useless lifeless creature!
I thought you came to the office of the presidency to fight corruption?..
Why tasking the youth now??
As for me, if you give d direct order to lead the fighting of corruption , i will definitely make use of d latest RPG to demolish you and aso rock..

Of course he must be tired of his "I will fight kwarrapton" rhetorics as it have long become stale.So the same youth you have so much disparaged are the ones you're passing over your constitutional responsibility to?

Are the "lazy" youth in possession of ICPC, EFCC, PACAC, Police, Presidential Panel on Recovery of Stolen Assets(being headed by a WAEC certificate forger) that have all been selective about the corruption they fight?

Meanwhile this is President Buhari's score card after fighting corruption for 4years;

.".......In 2012, Nigeria was placed at 139th position, In 2014, Nigeria gained 3 steps and was placed at 136th position.Under Buhari, Nigeria has lost many positions down to 148th..."
