No Govt Financial Transaction Will Be Done In Secret-Buhari assures Nigerians

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday announced that soon no government financial transaction will be done in secret.

Speaking during the Passing-Out Parade of Detective Inspector Course Five, of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in Kaduna, Buhari vowed that there would be no hiding place for corrupt people under his administration.

“The objective of this administration is to institute a level of transparency in governance through mainly information technology platforms. Just as advanced democracies and some developing countries, I am determined that within a short period, citizens would be able to follow core government operations online.

“Our government has reached an advanced stage in Fiscal Transparency. The Appropriation Bill is placed online within hours of its presentation in the National Assembly. The Budget Office of the Federation has been engaging interest groups in the budget cycle. A pilot scheme of 10 MDAs has been test running online display of their budgets and expenditure movements.”

“I am aware that the portals are ready but owners of companies are unwilling to comply with all disclosure requirements. May I use this opportunity to urge all well-meaning Nigerians to fully comply,”he added.
