President Muhammadu Buhari announced on Friday that he is determined to clean up Nigeria's problems after three failed attempts at becoming president.

"Having served as a military Head of State before returning to politics to run for President after losing three elections, I've seen the country's accountability system and the mess that needs to be cleaned up."

Buhari remarked this while visiting a delegation of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) led by its President, Mrs. Comfort Olu Eyitayo, according to a statement signed by presidential spokesperson Femi Adesina.

Buhari applauded the institute's efforts to ensure probity, accountability, and transparency, but requested greater diligence and professionalism.

The President stated that his administration will continue to cooperate with experts in order to achieve measurable and consistent outcomes and that professionals in numerous sectors, including accounting, give the strength and structure for strong economies.
