The British High Commission to
Nigeria, Paul Arkwright has backed the travel ban placed on 50 high profile
Nigerians by the President Muhammdu Buhari administration.
Recall that thirteen former
governors and seven ex-ministers have been barred from travelling out of the
country, under Executive Order 6 (EO6) issued by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The restriction followed the
judicial affirmation of the constitutionality and legality of the Executive
Order 6 (EO6).
The watchlist and restriction
were put in place pending the conclusion of corruption cases against those
affected.
Arkwright, however, said that
Buhari’s EO6 was important for the fight against corruption and rooting it out
where it’s happening.
“I’ve heard that this is an
anti-corruption measure. It’s not for me to say who should or should not be on
the list,” Arkwright told Channels TV on Monday.
“But what I would say is that
it’s very important in continuing this fight against corruption and rooting out
corruption where it is happening.”
