The party appears to be over for public officers in the habit of looting the nation’s treasury.
The Federal Government and 59 other nations will in May sign agreement on the sanctions to be imposed on corrupt political and public office holders.
President Muhammadu Buhari will join 59 other world leaders in the United Kingdom to seal the pact by which any of the 60 countries involved would no longer be a “safe haven” for treasury looters.
Some of the sanctions that may be imposed on culprits include:
- travel restriction or denial of entry visa into the 60 countries;
- rejection of request for political asylum by corrupt political and public office holders;
- likely loss of citizenship;
- no more approval of naturalization for any corrupt person;
- no establishment of shell companies abroad; and
- the corrupt will not be allowed to operate foreign accounts in any of the 60 nations.
