President Muhammadu Buhari
Nigeria will no longer be known for corruption across the world, President Muhammadu Buhari has assured.
Buhari gave the assurance on Wednesday where he said a new dawn has come for the country.
The President said this while lauding two security officials who returned a handbag filled with valuables forgotten at the Murtala Muhammed Airport by an American returnee.
Buhari this urged Nigerians to emulate them as “such conduct reflected the new Nigeria that we all desire.”
He added that “Honesty remains the best policy. We must exhibit such behavior 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.
