We would address the issue of lopsided appointments – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday assured religious leaders and indeed all Nigerians that his administration would address rising concerns of corruption, insecurity and injustices in various parts of the country.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the President gave the assurance when he received a Christian delegation led by the President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Samson Ayokunle; and a Muslim delegation led by the Secretary-General of Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), Dr. Khalid Aliyu, in separate meetings at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

In bits: The President told the CAN delegation that he had already given instructions for the submission of all the names of heads of parastatals in order to address the allegations of lopsidedness in appointments.

Buhari also said his administration would ensure the reform of the police and judiciary, describing both institutions as critical to the security and stability of the nation.

Buhari also explained to the JNI delegation that corruption in the country had taken a cultural dimension, urging all religious leaders and Nigerians to join in the fight in order to reverse the trend.
