NEWS: HELP US RECOVER LOOTED FUNDS, PRESIDNT BUHARI TELLS UNTED NATIONS ASSEMBLY
Buahri said this during his speech at the 72nd Uited Nations General meeting in New York on Tuesday. The President also went further to mention that the ISIS fighters who were under heavy attack were fleeing to Lake Chad Basin and the Sahel where the armies had weaker capacities to defeat them. He also urge the world leaders to join hands together in the fight against terrorism.
Buhari said,
“Through our individual
national efforts, state institutions are being strengthened to promote
accountability, and to combat corruption and asset recovery. These can
only be achieved through the international community cooperating and
providing critical assistance and material support. We shall also cooperate in addressing
the growing transnational crimes such as forced labour, modern day
slavery, human trafficking and cybercrime. These cooperative efforts should be
sustained. We must collectively devise strategies and mobilise the
required responses to stop fleeing ISIS fighters from mutating and
infiltrating into the Sahel and the Lake Chad Basin, where there are
insufficient resources and response capacity is weak.”
President Buhari said that Nigeria's commitment towards promoting Democracy in Africa was unshakable, adding that the nation had helped maintain democracy in Cote D’Ivoire and The Gambia.
Buhari also commended the efforts of the United Nations in settling thousands of innocent lives caught in the Syria, Irag and Afganistan's conflict. And also the humanitarian efforts rendered in the North-east of Nigeria.
“In particular, we must collectively thank the government of the Federal Republic of Germany under the commendable leadership of Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Governments of Italy, Greece and Turkey for assisting hundreds of thousands of refugees.”
