Soon Nigeria will no longer be a by-word for corruption – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday expressed

confidence that Nigeria is resolutely on the road to a new

dawn.



He stressed and promised that the country will no longer be a by-word for

corruption.



According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and

Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President said this while

commending two security men who returned a handbag filled

with valuables forgotten at the Murtala Muhammed Airport by

an American returnee.



Buhari asked Nigerians to imitate the security men, saying

“such conduct reflected the new Nigeria that we all desire.”



He said, “Honesty remains the best policy. We must exhibit

such behaviour in whatever position we find ourselves, whether

high or low.



“The security men could have chosen to behave differently,

following the self-serving principle of ‘if you can’t beat them,

join them.’



“But they have chosen to be examples of good, honest

Nigerians. I recommend their conduct to the rest of the

country.”



“Nigeria will no longer be a by-word for corruption and

plundering of public resources. That is the path we have

chosen to take, and our country will eventually get to a new

shore,” Buhari said.
