PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, December 11, has promised that his administration would soon release details of former corrupt officials of the past administration who voluntarily surrendered their loot.
Buhari who was speaking in Abuja at this year’s edition of the annual Osigwe Anyiam-Osigwe Foundation Lecture, said he was reluctant to release names of those of whop had returned their loots in order not to jeopardise the possibility of bigger recoveries.
While asking the nation to be patience he acknowledged that: “I have heard it said that we should disclose the names of the people, and the amount returned.
“Yes, in due course, the Central Bank of Nigeria will make information available to the public on the surrendered funds, but I must remark that it is yet early days, and any disclosure now may jeopardize the possibility of bigger recoveries.”
He said the government owed the nation adequate information and that it would come in due course. “It is part of the collective effort to change our land from the bastion of corruption it currently is, to a place of probity and transparency,” Buhari said.
