President Muhammadu Buhari’s government is the most transparent and accountable in the history of the country, according to Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed.
Mohammed made the remark on Friday when he received a TI delegation, led by the Chair of the body’s International Board, Delia Ferreira Rubio, in Abuja.
As stated by him, ”Nigeria has never had a more transparent, more accountable government than the Buhari Administration.
”As a policy, this government is the most committed to fighting corruption. We need your support in the area of advocacy and capacity building.”
He added that, ”They look at the actions of an aberrant few to condemn the government.”
Also, the Minister tasked TI and its affiliates to show more understanding for the sociological complexities of fighting corruption in Nigeria, since it operates a federal system of government.
In addition, he said the administration is not just fighting corruption with laws and prosecution, but also with education and inclusiveness in government.
