President Mohammadu Buahri has said that all assets seized from corrupt persons in and out of the country would be sold soonest and the proceeds would be paid into the coffers of the government for public use.
He made the disclosure in an interactive section with community leaders held at the Coronation Hall, government house Kano state north western Nigeria on the second day of his official visit to the state.
“Seized or forfeited assets will be sold as quickly as possible and the money saved in government accounts to be used for welfare of Nigerians especially youths for whom he is worried about their future,” he said.
