Nigeria\u2019s President, Muhammadu Buhari<\/strong> (left)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nigeria\u2019s President, Muhammadu Buhari, has awarded an Assistant Comptroller-General of Customs in Nigeria for rejecting bribe.<\/p>\n

Bashir Abubakar, according to Mr Buhari, rejected a bribe of $412,000 per container offered him by drug traffickers seeking to bring 40 containers of Tramadol into Nigeria. <\/p>\n

That amounts to about $16, 480,000.<\/p>\n

President Buhari, in a statement, described the Assistant Comptroller-General\u2019s action as \u201ca fine example of incorruptibility, worthy of emulation by all.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said \u201cNigeria will progress only if it is founded on these values of ethics and integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n
