President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi said that more corrupt people in Nigeria will be exposed in his administration’s anti-corruption drive.
Buhari who spoke at an interactive forum with members of the Nigerian Community in Abu Dhabi, assured Nigerians at the interactive session that his administration’s war against corruption will continue to be vigorously pursued.
The president pledged that more persons who have abused the public trust will be exposed and brought to justice soon, adding that, his government was committed to re-establishing former standards of accountability and probity in the management of public funds which were jettisoned under past administrations.
The President appealed for more patience and understanding from Nigerians as his administration takes steps to safeguard the economy from the shock of falling oil prices.
“In the face of our new economic reality of dwindling oil prices, there are a number of things we can really do without to preserve our economy.
“We must develop the capacity to feed ourselves and we should be spending our resources on real development projects, not luxuries,” he said.
