President Muhammadu Buhari has challenged young Africans to lead the fight against corruption, saying triumph over the age-long monster depended on them.
Buhari gave the challenge while declaring open the 2018 Africa Youth Congress Against Corruption (AYCAC) at the presidential villa, Abuja.
He said their involvement will help in reversing the negative trends of corruption and its implications for Africa.
“To the young people of Africa, this fight against corruption is yours to lead and to win in order to reverse the negative trends of corruption and its implications for Africa,” Buhari said on Sunday.
“The youth of Africa must pool their energies to effectively ensure that our natural and mineral resources remain on the continent for value addition, job and wealth creation as well as to create affordable health-care and quality education for our people.
“Winning the fight against corruption is very much in your hands.
