Bauchi State governor Mohammed Abubakar has said that the state government through its Recovery Committee has so far recovered over 70 vehicles, N600million generators and a number of air conditioners from the officials of the immediate past administration of former Governor Isa Yuguda.
Abubakar stated this during an official opening of register by the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) to collect signatures in support of President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war in Abuja.
The governor explained that immediately after his assumption of office, he started to toe the line of President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-graft war by setting up a recovery committee, which was saddled with the responsibility of recovering all illegally-acquired vehicles and lands by the immediate past government functionaries.
He said, “I’m happy to be the first governor to register support for President Muhammadu Bahari’s anti-corruption war initiated by National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN). I believe the anti-corruption drive would also be factored along good governance, fighting corruption and security of lives and property.”
He expressed confidence that Buhari’s antecedents of zero-tolerance for corruption would place the country on a high pedestal among the comity of nations.
Earlier, national president of NYCN, Ikenga Ugochinyere, said the war on corruption is a war that must be won, adding that a corruption-free Nigeria will guarantee stable power supply, employment, infrastructure development, security, conducive atmosphere for investment, improved standard of living, better economy, and improved international image.
He noted that the youths will be the greatest beneficiaries of a corruption-free Nigeria, saying the anti-corruption war will avail them the opportunity to fulfill their potentialities.
