The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has said that all government financial transactions will henceforth be done in the open.

Buhari disclosed this while speaking at the Passing Out Parade of Detective Inspector Course Five of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Kaduna State.

“My resolve is to ensure that the reforms are deepened such that there will be no hiding place for corrupt persons and proceeds of corruption,” he said.

The President added, “My aim is to ensure that no government financial transaction is done in secret and all are subjected to public scrutiny.

“The objective of this administration is to institute a level of transparency in governance through mainly information technology platforms.

“Just as advanced democracies and some developing countries, I am determined that within a short period, citizens would be able to follow core government operations online.”
