Our Export-Import Bank will begin looking to promoting U.S. exports to Nigeria. They cannot be surrogate governments, but they can help an effective government do its job even better. Let me tick these off and then go into some detail about each. Let me take each of these. First, with respect to corruption.
Corruption can bleed the public trust.
It transfers wealth from the many to the few. It is the enemy of sustainable development. And frankly, corruption has crippled this great nation, and it must be rooted out in every institution of government and in the courts. This will send an important signal early in the life of this new government to U.S. and foreign investors that there will be a new Nigeria. Corruption, though, is one piece of it.
