President Muhammadu Buhari said that the United States will assist his administration to recover and reclaim funds stolen from Nigeria.
The president said this in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, while receiving the Northern Traditional Rulers Council, led by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari said that the administration would, in the next three months, endeavour to recover the stolen funds.
Citing the report submitted by the Ahmed Joda-led transition committee, Buhari said several revenue-generating institutions in the country had been compromised, leading to a weak economy.
He also urged the traditional rulers to assist the government to end insecurity and terrorism in the country.
