According to the statement, the committee is headed by Alhaji Salihu Lukman, with the mandate “to undertake a forensic audit of all contracts, expenditure and appointments made in all the ministries, departments and agencies from May 2007 to May 2015″.

Abubakar, while addressing the participants, said that corruption had eaten deeply into the nation’s socio-economic and political sphere of the country, but assured that he would fight against corruption in public life until sanity was restored.

He said that he had earlier appointed a committee for the recovery of government property illegally carted away by officials of the last administration that runs into millions of Naira.
