President Bola Tinubu on Sunday said his administration has zero tolerance for corruption, telling Qatari investors not to hesitate in reporting any of his officials that demand bribe when they decide to invest in Nigeria.
Tinubu who is on a visit to Qatar, told the international business community that Nigeria is ready for serious business.
He assured that his administration will deal decisively with any and all entrenched interests in the country who undermine investor confidence in the Nigerian economy.
He also promised to remove all bottlenecks standing in the way of profitable and legitimate enterprise in Nigeria.
The President gave the charge at the Nigeria-Qatar Business and Investment Forum in Doha, on Sunday.
According to him, Africa’s largest economy and its systems are being reformed and upgraded.
“For you Qatar’s captains of industry report any government official who demands a bribe or any form of inducement at any point in your business endeavour. I give you full assurance of your direct access to the President’s Office.
“I am here to give you the assurance that reforms are going on; forget about whatever you heard in the past. Whatever is the obstacle or problem that some of you might have experienced; it is in the past, because there is no obstacle in the future.
“Do not offer a bribe to any of our people, and if it is requested or taken from you, report to us. You will have access to me. Nigeria will no longer be defined by the past, but by what we do now and moving forward
