President Buhari says any attempt to
reveal the names of former government
officials that are returning looted funds
may jeopardize others from returning
their loots.

Buhari stated this while delivering
his keynote address at the Osigwe
Anyiam-Osigwe lecture in Abuja
today December 11th. He said CBN
will reveal the names of the former
government officials in due course.

“As I stated recently, a good
number of people who abused their
positions are voluntarily returning
the illicit funds. I have heard it
said that we should disclose the
names of the people, and the
amount returned. Yes, in due
course, the Central Bank of Nigeria
will make information available to
the public on the surrendered
funds, but I must remark that it is
yet early days, and any disclosure
now may jeopardize the possibility
of bigger recoveries. But we owe
Nigerians adequate information,
and it shall come in due course. It
is part of the collective effort to
change our land from the bastion
of corruption it currently is, to a
place of probity and
transparency.”he said
