President Muhammadu Buhari has guaranteed that his administration will never meddle in the battle against corruption in Nigeria.
The president made the vow on Saturday, August 31 at the graduation of 328 cadets of the Detective Superintendent Course 8 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Kaduna state.
He along these lines, asked Nigerians to join his administration to free Nigeria of criminality and corruption in governance.
His words: “Corruption is what is holding Nigeria’s development over the years. The overall public opinion is that corruption fuels terrorism, kidnappings, banditry, political violence which consequently denied millions of Nigerians access to good life, good health and a sound education.
“My charge to you today is to imbibe the culture of integrity, selflessness, patriotism and professionalism which NDA and EFCC are known for.
“With the political will of my administration in the last four years and the courage of EFCC chairman Ibrahim Magu, it’s possible to have a society where corruption is reduced.
“It’s my hope that you will join us in taking corruption and criminality out of governance so that our nation will be prosperous and safer for future generation.”
