We won’t allow Nigeria’s stolen funds to be laundered through any of our banks – US ambassador says

United States Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle has said the US government will support President Buhari’s anti-corruption fight by ensuring that stolen money are not laundered in any of their banks.

Entwistle said this at the 240th U.S. Independence Anniversary celebration cocktail party in Abuja over the weekend.

“As you fight corruption, we offer technical assistance, training for investigators and prosecutors, and a commitment to ensure that no stolen funds are laundered through our banking system. As you continue privatisation of the power grid, through President Obama’s Power Africa initiative, we stand ready to help companies invest in building more electricity infrastructure, especially environmentally-friendly power generation. As you increase your commitment to healthcare and education, we will support those efforts too” he said
