President Muhammadu Buhari has thanked the British and Swiss governments for their support for his administration in its efforts to recover funds looted from the public treasury.
Buhari spoke at the Presidential Villa, Abuja while receiving the the new ambassadors of Britain and Switzerland who came to show their letters of credence.
In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adeshina, Buhari said that British, Swiss and other foreign anti graft agencies have helped his government a lot with relevant information and intelligence on public funds looted and converted to personal use by corrupt government officials.
He called for quicker investigations, prosecution and repatriation of public resources looted by corrupt public officers and their accomplices.
“Switzerland and Britain have been very helpful indeed in the recovery of our assets. But we must build on what we have started.
“It is also important to send a signal to the elite that it is no longer business as usual. I personally appreciate the efforts of Prime Minister David Cameron on this issue.
“He has honoured his commitments to us. He promised to support our government to build a strong and dynamic economy and he has been faithful to his words.”
