President Buhari inaugurates audit committee on recoveries of stolen assets (photos)

Wednesday, President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated an audit committee on recoveries of stolen assets within and outside the country made by federal agencies.

During the inauguration, the president said 'In the course of implementing this exercise and given the number of agencies who are concurrently pursuing specialized initiatives and making recoveries for Government, it has become obvious that fundamental gaps still exist in ensuring that the recovered assets are accounted for, and managed in an accurate, transparent and logical manner. It was in realization of this and due to our determination to ensure that in pursuing the anti-graft war, we do not create new room for dishonorable conduct by any individual or agency that I directed, earlier in the year, that all agencies should send in detailed reports of all their recovered assets as at March, 2017'.
