Buhari Reveals Agencies Still Diverting Govt Revenue
President Muhammadu Buhari Monday revealed that some government agencies were still in the habit of not giving full account of revenue they generated despite the anti-corruption efforts of the government.
Inaugurating the board of the of Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, said such agencies instead of obeying the rules continued as if nothing has happened.
He said that he will make sure that such agencies accounted for all revenues generated.
Buhari said, “As I have noted in recent times, despite our anti-corruption drive, some agencies of government still divert or refuse to fully account for revenue generated. Rather than obey constitutional provisions and extant rules and regulations, such agencies continue as if nothing has changed.
‘’We are determined to ensure that every agency of government account for public revenue generated or expended. I am looking forward to ICPC’s support both for enforcement of anti-corruption laws and submission of policy measures and directives to prevent revenue leakage and diversion.
