According to President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria doesn't need foreign aid from the United States and other world powers.
Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, said President Buhari during his Washington visit told US senior officials that Nigeria has the resources she needs to stand on her feet.
“Buhari did not go to the US with a begging bowl. We don’t need foreign aid, he told everyone, so long as the world powers can help us plug all the loopholes that had been used to steal our assets,” he said according to VANGUARD.
Whereas the President said, during the visit, that about $150 billion is stolen annually from Nigeria and many other African countries, the Presidency official said, ”Americans hold the view that between $10 billion and $20 billion dollars is lost annually through the crude oil sector alone.”
”There is no organisation or government (across the world) that can give us (Nigeria) $5 billion. If we plug our loopholes and recover stolen money stashed abroad, Nigeria will do well by herself.” he quoted Buhari as saying.
