We strongly believe that when things work in Nigeria, they will also work in our own South Africa.
The South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr Lulu Mnguni, on Friday lauded President Muhammadu Buhari’s ongoing efforts at fighting corruption.
Mnguni told the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) in Lagos that the president’s efforts would not only enhance
Nigeria’s overall development, but would also positively reposition
Africa’s image globally.
The Envoy said that it was imperative for Nigerians to support Buhari’s administration’s ongoing effort at fighting corruption.
"We
strongly appreciate the role President Buhari in trying to play in
creating an environment that is corruption-free in Nigeria.
"Obviously, Buhari’s commitment to fighting corruption in the country will attract more investors and development to Nigeria.
"We all need to know that it is no longer for self-serving but that the time has come for politicians to serve the people.
"We all must know that Africa as a continent is always being condemned for our inability to fight corruption," he said.
Mnguni
expressed optimism that Nigeria’s ability to fight corruption would
also reduce corrupt practices in other African countries.
The
high commissioner also restated his government’s resolve to
strengthening its "strategic partnership’’ with Nigeria in the years
ahead.
"We strongly believe that when things work in Nigeria, they will also work in our own South Africa.
"South Africa will always see Nigeria as her strategic partner," he said.
