President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday described corruption as the worst among the various problems facing Nigeria.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President spoke while receiving the two recipients of the 2016 Nigerian National Order of Merit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said, “Nobody disputed the fact that they (insecurity, poor economy and corruption) were the major problems of Nigeria, and we campaigned on those three planks.
“As a government, we believe you cannot administer a country you have not secured, so we focused on security.
‘‘The economy is also down, therefore, we are not sparing any effort to revive and diversify it, so that our people, particularly the youths, can get jobs.
“The third problem, and the worst of them all, is corruption.”
