President Muhammadu Buhari has described corruption as one of the greatest evils, plaguing the African continent.
Speaking while formally launching the African Anti-Corruption Year 2018 during the Opening Ceremony of the 30th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union, Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, the President declared:
“Corruption is indeed one of the greatest evils of our time.
Corruption rewards those who do not play by the rules and also creates a system of distortion and diversion thereby destroying all efforts at constructive, just and fair governance.”
As the Champion of the theme of the 30th AU Summit: “Winning the Fight against Corruption: A Sustainable Path to Africa’s Transformation,”
Buhari thanked his African colleagues for entrusting him with such a noble responsibility.
In a statement by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari pledged to do his best “to ensure that the anti-corruption agenda will receive the attention it deserves and make the impact we all hope for, during 2018 and beyond.”
