He asserts that asset recovery is an essential component of our anti-corruption approach since it is both a moral and legal requirement.
“Recovering stolen public funds and channelling them towards developmental needs represents both justice and restitution.
“It is about restoring the peoples trust and ensuring that every kobo of our national wealth works for the common good.
“Asset recovery sends a clear and unwavering message that there will be no safe haven for corruption in Nigeria and it served as a deterrent, a symbol of accountability and a practical tool to rebuild national confidence in public institutions,” he said.
President Tinubu also disclosed that his administration had made it a priority to use recovered assets to finance important infrastructure projects like the Abuja-Kano Motorway, the Lagos-Ibadan Motorway, and the Second Niger Bridge.
He added that despite the difficulty, his administration was determined to see that the objective was accomplished.
“We must act decisively, with courage and unity of purpose to tackle corruption effectively and deprive criminals of the proceeds of their crime.
“In this way, we can ensure that the nation’s wealth is used for the benefit of the people.
“I would like to reassure you that my administration is committed to aggressively pursuing the recovery of stolen assets, ensuring that every looted fund is returned to the Nigerian people.
