The UN Office on Drugs and Crime
(UNODC) says it greatly appreciates the solid commitment shown by President
Muhammadu Buhari in confronting corruption in his country and across the
African Union.
This is contained in a statement made available on Friday by David Dadge, UNODC spokesperson.
It recalled that in a July
decision, the African Union unanimously endorsed the appointment of President
Buhari as its anti-corruption champion.
Buhari is expected to lead an
African Union summit on anti-corruption next year.
“This appointment is a welcome
recognition of President Buhari’s own efforts against corruption in Nigeria,
and a sign of Africa’s determination to rid itself of a crime that blights
development and progress”, the statement added
“UNODC remains a staunch ally of
Nigeria and the African Union and expresses the hope that fighting corruption
will lead to greater economic growth and prosperity for all African people.”
Nigeria, along with dozens of
other countries, will take part in the Seventh Session of the Conference of
States Parties to the UN Convention Against Corruption, to be held 6-10
November.
The conference brings together
over 1,000 representatives of member states, academics, anti-corruption
practitioners, and civil society to discuss how to tackle corruption.
Our Party Leader is only fighting the opposition party. All are fowl play.
