Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami (SAN) has said that recovered loots are being spent by the Federal Government on capital projects, anti-terrorism campaign and social intervention programmes.
The minister listed the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the Kano-Abuja Highway and the Second Niger Bridge as some of the capital projects.
Malami said in one year, the Buhari government had “cleared the mess of the past government by fighting against terrorism.”
The minister also said recovered funds were used for social intervention programmes, including school feeding and N-Power.
Malami, who featured on a programme aired by Radio Kano on Monday, attributed the recovery of loots and assets to President Buhari’s radical approach to the anti-corruption fight.
He said corrupt government officials were not spared because the war against graft was no respecter of persons.
His words: “The money recovered from looted assets, especially those that were kept abroad, were used judiciously and are all visible to Nigerians.
“Some of the projects that were carried out with that money include the Kano-Abuja Highway, the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the Second Niger Bridge – which was abandoned many years ago, and other projects like school feeding programmes, the agricultural input support, N-Power, and many others.
