The President, Muhammadu Buhari, on Thursday, May 12, in London urged the international community to urgently create anti-corruption infrastructure and a strategic action plan to facilitate the speedy recovery and repatriation of stolen funds hidden in secret bank accounts abroad. The president speaking at the opening of the Anti-Corruption Summit hosted by Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain, said that new measures against corruption that will be adopted by the summit should also include mechanisms that will assist countries like Nigeria to combat illegal activities such as crude oil theft to which, he said, Nigeria loses about $7 Billion annually.
