No More Room For Embezzlement and Fiscal Recklessness - Buhari Tells State Govs
Posted by Lolade on Wed 24th Jun, 2015 - tori.ngPresident Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday vowed to curb the spate of financial mismanagement by political officers across the federation.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, June 23, authoritatively informed state governors that the days of impunity, lack of accountability and fiscal recklessness in the management of the nation's resources were over .
The president also vowed that embezzled funds by government officials who abused their offices in the recent past would be recovered while systemic leakages would be plugged.
The president spoke when he held a meeting with the governors of the 36 states of the federation at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“There are financial and administrative instructions in every government, parastatal and agency. But all these were thrown to the dogs in the past. Honestly, our problems are great, but we will do our best to surmount them.
“The next three months may be hard, but billions of dollars can be recovered, and we will do our best.”
He also added that it was unimaginable how the governors had tolerated the atrocities allegedly committed with the Excess Crude Account (ECA) since 2011.
