President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly vowed to recover assets belonging to the Federal Government allegedly stolen by some aides of the former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Complete News reliable gathered that a Committee whose members include men of security agencies and civil servants had been inaugurated to embark on the assets recovery mission.
The Committee, whose members have not been made public, is to identify the assets and recover them as part of the ongoing recovery of resources belonging to government by the Buhari administration.
“That is precisely the case. Even here at the Presidential Villa, there are cars and other property belonging to the government which are yet to be returned. The property belongs to the Nigerian people.
We are not trying to humiliate anyone by asking them to return their cars or houses,” Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, told journalists while confirming the development on Sunday.
He added that the move is part of the design of President Buhari to end the culture of impunity that has been part and parcel of the past administration.
Garba said, “But change has come. That is why we have to do things differently now. Imagine how much Nigeria will save by retrieving and re-using these government properties instead of purchasing new ones for new government officials”.
