Samuel Ugwoke, national president of Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) who gave the charge at the National Executive Council meeting/Pre-National Delegate Conference in Jos, Plateau State, stressed the need for holistic probe and recovery of looted public funds by previous administrations.
Ugwoke, who pledged the union’s support for the Buhari’s administration, asked the Presidency not to be selective in the fight against corruption.
“Corruption has killed this country. We have heard of billions and trillions of naira being looted by officers of government and all of them starched abroad, not even in our country not even in our own banks.
“They use Nigerian money to grow and improve the economy of other countries, leaving us in poverty. SSANU supports the fight against corruption but with a caveat, Mr. President should pursue whoever has stolen our money to return it to our coffers.
“The probe of the looters should not be selective, it should be total, that is the stand of SSANU. It should be total and be extended to 1999, so that those who have killed this country since 1999 should be brought to book,” he said.
He noted that some individuals in the country have become richer than the country itself, urging the present administration to put necessary mechinery in place for effective management of revenue accruing from oil resources.
“This is a country where an individual is richer than a country and he made his money from the country.
