The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has sought the help of the United Kingdom in the anti-corruption war of his regime.
Buhari made the call during a meeting with the British Prime Minister, Mr Boris Johnson, in London on Monday.
The two leaders met on the sidelines of the UK-Africa Investment Summit 2020, which opened in London on Monday.
The statement did not indicate whether Buhari mentioned the names of any fugitives.
However, it said Buhari briefed Johnson on the achievements of his regime so far, particularly in agriculture, which he said had led to “almost self-sufficiency” in the production of rice and other grains.
On the counterinsurgency operations of the regime, Buhari told the PM that security had improved in the communities worst-hit by Boko Haram, adding that the immediate challenge the regime was tackling was the resettlement of displaced families.
Buhari added that his regime was focused on developing education, with special attention on girl child education and welfare.
The Presidency said Johnson praised Buhari’s efforts in being a leader in the West African sub-region and providing jobs through agriculture and other policies of his regime. Punch
