President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to continue his administration’s war against corruption as well as tackle insecurity, especially in border areas. Illicit flows have further fuelled terrorism and the proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons. “It is common knowledge that illicit flows compound the problems of corruption and impede efforts towards sustainable economic growth. This is why I will continue to take decisive action to fight corruption and confront insecurity, especially in the border areas. He further stated: “I am aware that one of the key facilitators of transnational organised crime including illicit flows, is the porous nature of our borders.
