- President Mohammadu Buhari has said that Nigerians have no business with poverty given the enormous resources which God has endowed the country with.

- He made this assertion Tuesday at the opening of the 45th Annual Conference of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) in Abuja.
- Represented by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Mrs. Anastasia Nwaobia, President Buhari blamed the poverty in the land on mis-governance and lack of transparency.
