“The administration has seen successful repatriation of assets from Swaziland and the United Kingdom and is currently in the process of recording further repatriations from New Jersey in particular.” He said.

While Malami acknowledges these successes, he noted that the current administration was aware of the fact that the repatriation and recovery of asset is just one part of the coin.

“The law will provide a framework where all stolen assets recovered will be centrally managed in a transparent and accountable manner or the benefit of ball Nigerians. “

“The institutional processes that will establish by laws, like this will make the use of stop-gap measures like Executive Ordered unnecessary.”
