The Presidency on Monday explained the reason behind President Muhammadu Buhari’s foreign trips, saying that the trips were aimed at recovering funds looted from Nigeria.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said this while addressing State House correspondents.
Buhari will on Tuesday travel to France and Britain. He had visited Kenya and Ethiopia last week.
He said so far, Buhari had during his trips secured agreements with various countries on recovery and repatriation of stolen funds.
He also disclosed that some top security officials in the country would, in the next one week, travel to the United Arab Emirates to further actualise an agreement on recovery and repatriation of stolen funds.
“So, the President wants to make it difficult for people, even when they steal from Nigeria, there would probably be no hiding place for stolen assets,” he added.
