According to Senator Bassey Akpan, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Gas, special amnesty should be granted to Nigeria’s treasury looters, so that the stolen money, stashed in various banks all over the World would be recovered to generate enough forex to drive the nation’s economy.
“The time has come when we have to think outside the box and my own position is this, it is possible that the government can declare amnesty on stolen money. Let every Nigerian that has taken money out of this country be given amnesty to bring back the money and invest in the country.
“We have hundreds of billions of dollars starched outside the country in the international banks which are being used to drive their economy. Other countries are enjoying this money while we are suffering in Nigeria.
“When owners of the Nigeria’s stolen foreign currencies bring them back to the country as a result of the amnesty, a lot of foreign exchange can be generated to fund our local consumption and we can set target.”
"Amnesty was created for militancy, we should create amnesty for anybody that has taken money outside this country so that they can invest them in the country. We can generate a hundred billion dollar in the process in less than six months," he added.
