President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated that all past and present corrupt officials will be probed.
He said the anti-corruption agencies have been repositioned to undertake the legal battle against them.
Buhari said this in his address at a summit on Security and Development Agenda for Northern Nigeria organized by Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation on Tuesday in Kaduna.
Buhari vowed that under his administration, money meant for the citizenry will not be looted by a few corrupt individuals.
President Buhari who was represented by Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Danbazau, said the challenges confronting the nation included terrorism.
“The Herders-Sedentary farmers’ conflict is very rife with us, even though it also has a regional dimension,” he said.
“This is one serious matter that affects most concerned persons in this forum, next is the collateral kidnapping for ransom and problems associated to it.
“As you are all aware, the security forces, including the intelligence outfits, have been mandated to combine their efforts to rid our people of the violent levels it has escalated in recent times, leading to regrettable loss of lives and property, at a national scale.”
