President Muhammadu Buhari has in a statement stated what will kill Nigeria if appropriate measures were not taken.
This he said on Monday while reiterating his commitment towards the fight against corruption, during the swearing in of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, Board members at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to Buhari, “if we do not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.”
According to Buhari: “Let me congratulate you, Mr. Chairman and Members of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission Board for being found worthy to serve our country on this important assignment. Your appointment is a call to service in an important sector and segment critical in our government’s agenda.
“Today’s occasion is the continuation of this Administration’s fight against corruption. It is a cardinal programme in the three point agenda that I promised to pursue and will continue to pursue as I seek the mandate of Nigerians for a second term.
“We are all witnesses to the damage that unbridled corruption has inflicted on our development aspirations. Apart from deliberate and wanton looting of our national wealth and common patrimony, corruption has eroded our values and ethical foundation as a nation.
